Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Presented For Review Whether a state legislature may completely eliminate the enumerated right to self-defense, which is the second amendment's "central component", by limiting that justification to crimes that it chooses to define within the same criminal code title, and not permit it to be applied to any crime that it defines outside of that criminal code title, regardless of the reasonableness of the accused's actions.
