Donald Irving Hill, Jr. v. United States
1. Is the lifetime ban on possession of firearms by all felons, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), plainly unconstitutional on its face under New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022), because it is permanent and applies to all persons convicted of felonies?
2. Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), the federal statute that prohibits anyone who has been convicted of "a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year" from possessing a firearm, violates the Second Amendment as applied to individuals with convictions for nonviolent drug trafficking offenses?
Is the lifetime ban on possession of firearms by all felons under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) unconstitutional under Bruen, and does the statute violate the Second Amendment as applied to nonviolent drug trafficking offenses?
