1Opinion of the Court
RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.
Michael Thompson was indicted on one count of possession of ammunition by a felon, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). During his jury trial, the district court permitted the prosecution to cross-examine a defense witness about Mr. Thompson’s past acts of physical violence and threats. Mr. Thompson was convicted and now appeals this conviction. He submits that the district court’s evidentiary ruling was error and that 18 U.S.C: § 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional. For the reasons set forth in the following opinion, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
