Under that standard, a statute passes constitutional muster if it is substantially related to an important governmental objective. Citing United States v. Williams, 616 F.3d 685 (7th Cir. 2010), the court held that public safety is an important governmental objective and denying firearms to convicted felons is substantially related to that objective.
Williams went so far as to state unequivocally that even an absolute ban on the possession of firearms by felons passes constitutional muster.
Says it all right there.
