Stop Rearming Felons Act of 1992 - Amends the Federal criminal code to provide that any State conviction which has been expunged or set aside, or for which a person has been pardoned or has had civil rights restored, shall not be considered a conviction for purposes of Federal provisions prohibiting convicted felons from possessing or dealing in firearms only if: (1) the expungement, set aside, pardon, or restoration of civil rights (expungement) applies to a named person and expressly authorizes the person to ship, transport, receive, and possess firearms and the State authority granting the expungement has expressly determined that the circumstances regarding the conviction, and the person's record and reputation, are such that the applicant will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety and the granting of the relief would not be contrary to the public interest; and (2) the conviction was for a crime other than a violent felony or serious drug offense.
