Federal law prohibits domestic violence misdemeanants from possessing firearms. A plaintiff with a decades-old conviction for misdemeanor domestic violence is barred from purchasing a handgun and challenges the law in federal district court. Would the law be upheld?
a) Yes, as the law serves a compelling government interest in preventing gun violence
b) No, as it violates the Second Amendment rights of the plaintiff
c) Yes, as the plaintiff's conviction is exempt from the firearm restriction
d) No, as the law unfairly targets individuals with past convictions
