Question Presented (AI Summary)

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 instead apply the Bruen-Rahimi historical analysis to determine if the specific predicate offense historically justified disarmament?

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 instead apply the Bruen-Rahimi historical analysis to determine if the specific predicate offense historically justified disarmament? 2. Does 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) violate the Commerce Clause when the government’s only jurisdictional burden is to prove that a part of the firearm crossed state lines at some point in the indeterminate past?
