Question Presented (AI Summary)

Is the lifetime ban on possession of firearms by all felons, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), unconstitutional on its face, because it is permanent and applies to all persons convicted of felonies, even those who are not violent? And is it unconstitutional as applied to Mr. Dial, who has no violent convictions?
