Each year, more than 8,000 people are convicted for unlawful possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). About 90% of those cases arose from gun possession by a felon. Firearm prosecutions are reportedly “the third most common federal offense.” Such prosecutions are even more common in some districts, including the Middle District of Tennessee where over 42% of cases involve § 922(g). Section 922(g) is the law that prohibits felons, and certain other groups, from possessing firearms. The Sixth Circuit has now taken a big step in defining the constitutionality of the law, holding that a person only loses his Second Amendment rights under § 922(g) by committing a crime that involves danger to others or the community.
