Gary Crawford v. United States
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, No. 23-5429 · judgment December 5, 2025
Question presented
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?
