Question presented
Whether the "categorical approach" to determining whether a prior conviction is a "violent felony" under the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e), requires a court to consider the "realistic probability" that the state would apply the statute to conduct that does not involve the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force?
