United States Sixth Circuit

A sentence imposed pursuant to a guilty plea to possession of a firearm while subject to a domestic violence order is affirmed over a meritless claim that, by adding four points to his base offense level pursuant to U.S.S.G. section 2K2.1(b)(6), the district court engaged in "double counting" because all firearms by definition are capable of facilitating another felony offense.
