BEATING THE FEDS DEFENDING FEDERAL FIREARMS CHARGES: THE COMPLETE DEFENSE MANUAL This comprehensive manual provides everything defense attorneys need to win federal firearms cases and save clients decades of imprisonment. Federal firearms prosecutions carry devastating consequences: fifteen-year ACCA mandatory minimums, consecutive five-to-twenty-five-year § 924(c) sentences, and severe Bureau of Prisons custody disadvantages. Section 924(c) convictions trigger categorical denial of First Step Act earned time credits and lifetime RDAP ineligibility, adding years to actual time served beyond judicial sentences. This manual delivers winning strategies proven in real cases. Johnson v. United States eliminated ACCA's residual clause, freeing thousands. Mathis and Borden created categorical approach victories defeating predicate convictions. Rehaif requires knowledge of prohibited status. Davis struck down § 924(c)'s residual clause. The First Step Act ended stacking. Bruen opened unprecedented Second Amendment challenges, with Range and Daniels invalidating prohibitions for non-violent offenders and marijuana users. Every chapter provides actionable intelligence: challenging ACCA predicates through elements-versus-means analysis, defeating § 924(c) through crime-of-violence challenges, suppressing firearms via Fourth Amendment violations, using Shepard documents strategically, litigating BOP designation disputes, and pursuing post-conviction relief. The difference between three years and eighteen years often lies in technical details this manual reveals. Master the categorical approach. Challenge every predicate. Preserve constitutional issues. Win cases with this book that others consider unwinnable.
