Yasser Cruz v. United States

18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) imposes a lifelong prohibition, punishable by up to 15 years’ imprisonment, on the possession of any firearm or ammunition, for any purpose, by “any person ... who has been convicted in any court of ... a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.” In light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022), does § 922(g)(1) violate the Second Amendment, either on its face or as applied to Petitioner, a United States citizen who has no violent prior felony convictions? PARTIES TO THE PROCEEDING Petitioner is Yasser Cruz, defendant-appellant below. Respondent is the United States of America.
