How later courts describe this case
- sustaining a conviction without proof of defendant’s knowledge of the law because “the word ‘knowingly modifies the verb ‘to deliver,’ which it immediately precedes.”
- rejecting defendant’s contention that 18 U.S.C. § 922(e) is unconstitutionally vague
- section 922 violated where defendant checked baggage subsequently determined to contain firearms; defendant arrested as he entered jetway to aircraft
- crime of knowingly shipping firearms without declaring them is not specific intent crime
- use of the word “knowingly” in federal firearms laws does not require specific intent
