Question Presented (from Petition)

I. Consistent with the Second Amendment, may Congress bar
all felons from possessing firearms under 18 U.S.C. §
922(g)(1), as five circuit courts have held, or is this
regulation inconsistent with the Nation's historical
tradition, as three circuit courts have held?

II. Does the Nation's historical tradition of firearms regulation
permit disarming non-dangerous felons on supervised release?

III. Who should find the facts that make a defendant dangerous and
by what standard of proof?

IV. May Congress make purely intrastate possession of a
firearm a crime?
