ABSTRACT: In District of Columbia v. Heller, the U.S. Supreme
Court held that the Second Amendment protects an individual right
to possess firearms. More recently, in United States v. Hayes,
the Supreme Court upheld a federal statute which criminalizes the
possession of firearms by persons previously convicted of
misdemeanor domestic violence offenses. This essay argues that
the Hayes decision cannot be squared with the individual right to
keep and bear arms enunciated in Heller.
