Question Presented (from Petition)

Was Mr. Mulls convictions of 922(g)(1) as a felon-in-possession of
firearms violations of his Second Amendment Rights because:
(A) A LIFETIME FEDERAL FIREARM BAN CANNOT INFRINGED UPON UNLESS; it
is amended through the constitutional amendment process provided in
ARTICAL V of the constitution
(B) the government has never shown that PERMANENTLY disarming felons
is supported by a historical tradition of analogous laws and
(C) his predicate offenses (Forgery) are not offenses that are
historically recogniz'ed for banning a citizens right to possess
firearms?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a lifetime federal firearm ban for felons violates a defendant's Second Amendment rights when the government cannot demonstrate a historical tradition of analogous laws
