Hatfield v. Barr

Dist. Ct. erred in finding that prohibition for possession of firearms on individuals who have been convicted of crimes having maximum sentences exceeding one year, as contained in 18 USC section 922(g)(1), violated Second Amendment, even though Dist. Ct. found that section 922(g)(1) prevents nonviolent felons from possessing firearms. Ct. of Appeals found that Dist. Ct. decision conflicted with Kanter, 919 F.3d 437.  Moreover, Ct. of Appeals held that section 922(g)(1) applied to plaintiff, where, as here, his maximum sentence on his wire fraud conviction exceeded one year, even though plaintiff received sentence of  three-years' probation.
