Undo revision 927440 by Mohammed (talk)
'''18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1)''' is a [[federal]] law that states that it is unlawful for "any person who has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year ... to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce".
This law is often used to obtain convictions in [[federal]] court. In ''[[United States v. Daugherty]]'', the [[Fifth Circuit]] held that it is constitutional.
