Whether a conviction under Arkansas’s domestic battering in the second degree statute qualifies as a violent felony under the Armed Career Criminal Act’s force clause when the statute criminalizes recklessly causing physical injury by means of a vehicle and authoritative state sources of Arkansas law indicate that the statutory subparts are merely alternative means, rather than elements? ii
