Marco Antonio Sanchez v. United States

Below, Petitioner Marco Antonio Sanchez challenged the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), which makes it a crime for a person convicted of a felony to possess a firearm. He argued that § 922(g)(1)’s permanent disarmament violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms both facially and as applied to him. The court of appeals affirmed. The questions presented are:

1. Does § 922(g)(1) violate the Second Amendment facially?

2. Does § 922(g)(1) violate the Second Amendment as applied to individuals with convictions for offenses that did not involve the misuse of firearms or establish a credible threat of such misuse?
