Lopez contends that his conviction is unconstitutional because it violates his
rights under the Second Amendment. Contrary to the government’s argument,
Lopez has standing to present a facial challenge to the constitutionality of the
statute under which he was convicted. See Bond v. United States, 564 U.S. 211,
217 (2011). But, as Lopez acknowledges, his claim is foreclosed by Peruta v.
County of San Diego, 824 F.3d 919, 927 (9th Cir. 2016) (en banc).
AFFIRMED.
