Walker v. U.S.
Petition for certiorari denied on May 31, 2016
Issue: Whether one who regains his or her federal civil rights by operation of federal law has had his civil rights “restored” within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(20), which bars anyone who has been convicted of a felony from possessing a firearm, but further provides that “[a]ny conviction . . . for which a person . . . has had civil rights restored shall not be considered a conviction,” and therefore may exercise the fundamental constitutional right guaranteed by the Second Amendment.
