Description
Defendant John "J.R." Morgan appeals his jury conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), possession of an unregistered machine gun in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d), and possession of a machine gun in violation of 18 U.S.C. §922(o). Morgan claims the district court should have allowed him to introduce evidence that his rights to possess firearms were restored and should have given a jury instruction on "entrapment by estoppel" because he claims a police officer led him to believe it was legal for him to possess a firearm. Morgan also claims there was insufficient evidence to convict him of possession of a machine gun because he did not know the firearm was a machine gun. For the reasons set forth below, we AFFIRM the district court on all three issues.
