Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1. Whether an objection to a sentencing enhancement, urged with a specific argument supporting the non-application of that enhancement, waives all other grounds for the enhancement. 2. Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) is constitutional under the Second Amendment? And, whether this Court should hold the instant petition pending United States v. Rahimi, cert. granted, 143 S. Ct. 2688 (No. 22-915) (oral argument heard Nov. 7, 2023), give the government’s concession in its Petition for Certiorari in Garland v. Range, (No. 23-374) that Rahimi presents “closely related Second Amendment issues” with respect to constitutional challenges to 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), and urges this Court to “hold the petition for a writ of certiorari” in Range “pending its decision in Rahimi[?]"1 1 See Petition for Certiorari, Garland v.
