Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the Ninth Circuit's low burden of proof for possession of a firearm in cohabitation cases extends the scope of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) beyond its purpose, violates Due Process and chills the exercise of Second Amendment rights of law-abiding individuals to keep and bear arms in defense of hearth and home.
