Question presented
1. Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1)’s prohibition against mere firearm possession exceeds the scope of Congress’ power to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, both facially and as applied to Mr. McCuin. 2. Whether § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment, both facially and as applied to Mr. McCuin.

The Court’s next step is to decide whether to hear the case. No oral argument or decision date is set; those stages come only if the Court agrees to review it.
