Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the challenged legislative acts are facially unconstitutional under the natural law right of all humans to self-defense and self-preservation, which pre-existed organized society and the U.S. Constitution.

Whether the challenged legislative acts exclude status-based groups from "the people" in order to strip the underrepresented group of their Fourteenth Amendment Constitutional protection of their pre-existing natural right to keep and bear arms for self-defense, from government infringement.
