Question not identified.

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

1. Whether an individual’s probation or supervised release status categorically strips them of Second Amendment protection under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), or whether courts must apply Bruen ’s historical analysis to determine if the specific predicate offense historically justified disarmament, as required by the Fifth Circuit’s decision in United States v. Diaz ? 2. Is the lifetime ban on possession of firearms by all felons, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), plainly unconstitutional on its face under Bruen because it is permanent and applies to all persons convicted of felonies?
