Whether a lifetime firearm prohibition under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) violates the Second Amendment for individuals with decades-old felony convictions seeking home self-defense

Section 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) imposes a permanent, lifetime prohibition on possession of a firearm by a person previously convicted of any crime punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year. Petitioner Jessie Bullock had a prior felony conviction from 1992 for which he served at least 15 years in prison. He was charged with violating § 922(g)(1) after he possessed a firearm in his home for protection. The question presented is whether the statute comports with the Second Amendment , either facially , or as applied to individuals with decades old prior convictions who have not been shown to be currently dangerous and seek to possess a firearm in the home for self -defense .
