Is 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) Unconstitutional
I. Introduction of the case: Range v. AG United States, 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 13972 (3d Cir. June 6, 2023) determined that Title 18 USC 922(g)(1) is not constitutional as applied. HOLDINGS: [1]-The federal "felon-in-possession" law—18 U.S.C.S. § 922(g)(1)—violated defendant's Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms because despite defendant's false statement conviction, he remained among "the people" protected by the Second Amendment. The Court of Appeals rejected the Government's argument that only "law-abiding, responsible citizens" are protected by the Second Amendment.
