If you know that the felon has submitted a petition for expungement - or - are seeking state permission to have their rights restored you are perfectly within your rights to file a counter-petition with the court setting forth your opposition to their request.

The process for having felon's firearms rights restored (even to a limited extent - IF that right exists at all) is different in all states. And you many need to ask further within the law enforcement or legal aid community for more specifics.
