No. 23-10213
(2) § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional because it exceeds Congress’s authority under the Commerce Clause. We review both arguments for plain error.
Both arguments are foreclosed by our precedent. See United States v. Jones, 88 F.4th 571, 573–74 (5th Cir. 2023) (per curiam) (rejecting Bruen challenge to § 922(g)(1) on plain error); id. at 573 (rejecting Commerce Clause challenge to § 922(g)(1) on plain error).
AFFIRMED.
