United States v. Stines (11th Cir. May 2022)
Eleventh Circuit, Firearm Offenses, Major Cases, Recent Circuit Cases, Sentencing
|In a matter of first impression, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed a defendant’s sentence for illegally exporting firearms. The Court concluded that the lower offense level under USSG 2M5.2(a)(2) did not apply since the defendant’s offense involved more than 2 firearms, where the defendant had exported enough firearm parts to assemble two guns and enough spare parts to service additional firearms.
