What it's about
The Court refused to hear his case (denied the petition), so it did not decide these questions.
Federal law bars people with certain qualifying convictions from possessing firearms.
Question presented
1. Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) comports with the Second Amendment. 2. Whether Congress may criminalize intrastate firearm possession based solely on the firearm crossing state lines at some point before the defendant came to possess it. 3. Whether at minimum this Court should grant, vacate, and remand for re-consideration because of an intervening circuit decision that may invalidate precedent on which the panel opinion below relies.
