Question Presented (from Petition)

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?
