Question Presented (from Petition)

Stump asks this Court to determine whether 26 U.S.C. § 5861(h), which prohibits possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, violates the Second Amendment on its face and, more narrowly, whether Second Amendment protected "conduct," for purposes of Bruen's step one, consists of anything other than an individual's possession or carrying of a bearable firearm.
