Key Principle

The federal and Wisconsin felon-in-possession bans (18 U.S.C. §922(g)(1)) do not violate the Second Amendment as applied to a non-violent mail-fraud felon, because categorically disarming felons is substantially related to the important government interest in preventing gun violence.
