Environmental SocialSecurity Securities Immigration
Whether Congress may criminalize intrastate possession of a firearm and ammunition on the sole basis that the firearm and ammunition once moved, before the defendant's possession, through interstate commerce
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether Congress may criminalize intrastate possession of a firearm and ammunition on the sole basis that the firearm and ammunition once moved, before the defendant’s possession, through interstate commerce. 2. Whether the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA)’s definition of a “serious drug offense” requires knowledge of the substance’s illicit nature, an issue left undecided in Shular v. United States, 140 S. Ct. 779, 787 n.3 (2020). 3. Whether the ACCA’s requirement that prior offenses be “committed on occasions different from one another,” 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(1), is void for vagueness. i PROCEEDINGS IN FEDERAL TRIAL AND APPELLATE COURTS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS CASE United States District Court (M.D. Fla.): United States v.
