Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether a lifetime ban on firearm possession for felons under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) is facially unconstitutional given the lack of a historical analog and its impact on Second Amendment rights
Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTION PRESENTED L Because the restriction contained in 18 U.S.C. § 922 (g)(1) implicates the right to bear arms and lacks historical analog, is the lifetime ban of possession of a firearm by all felons facially unconstitutional? I. Does a district court plainly error when it enters a judgment of conviction for an offense under 18 U.S.C. § 922 (g)(1) as the unconstitutional nature of this statute affects the substantial rights of a criminal defendant? 2
