Gerson Armando Romero Salazar v. United States

Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A), which prohibits the possession of firearms by aliens unlawfully present in the United States, violates the Second Amendment on its face. a. Whether the Bruen analysis permits consideration of whether a class of persons is among “the people” prior to the Second Step in which the government bears the burden to demonstrate a historical tradition that would permit disarming that class. b. Whether the Nation’s historical tradition of firearms regulation permits the permanent disarmament of all illegal aliens based on their perceived lack of loyalty to the United States.
