    Are they?

    Can you direct me to the Supreme Court case that establishes that?

    Can you direct me to the NRA statement that acknowledges that?

    From the story:

    Another factor, experts believe, is the way federal prosecutors have increased their use of firearms conspiracy cases. Records kept by the nonprofit Transactional Records Access Center, affiliated with Syracuse University, showed that last year federal prosecutors in Brooklyn brought 117 weapons prosecutions for guns, up from 58 in 2015. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan brought 237 weapons indictments in 2016, up from 199 in 2015, the records show. Average prison sentences range from 40 to 51 months in those cases.
    One police official who didn’t want to be identified said fear of heavy sentences in federal cases is driving gang members to cooperate with police in weapons cases.
