Ashley Moore v. United States

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 25-50396 · judgment December 15, 2025


Certiorari denied · February 23, 2026

Questions presented

  1. Whether an individual’s probation or supervised release status categorically strips them of Second Amendment protection under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), or whether courts must instead apply the BruenRahimi historical analysis to determine if the specific predicate offense historically justified disarmament?

  2. Does 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) violate the Commerce Clause when the government’s only jurisdictional burden is to prove that a part of the firearm crossed state lines at some point in the indeterminate past?
