Assignment:

Elon Musk is the CEO of a company called SpaceX which operates a large facility near Austin, Texas. Concerned about the high costs of living in Austin and long commutes, Musk purchases a 200-acre area of land next to SpaceX where he constructs a private living facility for his workers. This area is colloquially called "Xville."

Xville consists of small modular homes arranged in makeshift residential neighborhoods for Musk's workers and their families. Xville develops into 500 homes and includes a central area with restaurants, a community swimming pool, a post office, a grocery store, a park, a church, and a Target. Workers at these facilities and SpaceX can come and go through a main gate to Xville, where their credentials are checked by security guards.

Those who live in Xville are subject to a policy prohibiting them from possessing firearms in their homes. A worker who lives in Xville with her family sues SpaceX in federal court, arguing that this policy violates her Second Amendment rights because she would like to purchase a firearm for her home. SpaceX lawyers move to dismiss the lawsuit for failing to state a claim for which relief can be granted, contending that the Constitution does not apply to Xville, and that in any event there is no constitutional violation.
