Question Presented (from Petition)
1. 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 an individual with a prior conviction for evading arrest with a vehicle.
2. Whether, for Second Amendment challenges to § 922(g)(1), courts can consider only the elements of a prior conviction—not alleged conduct—when determining whether an analogous historical tradition supports permanent disarmament.
