Wesley G. Hohlbein, Seattle, Wash., for defendant-appellant.
Stan Pitkin, U.S. Atty., Thomas B. Russell, Susan L. Barnes, Asst. U.S. Attys., Seattle, Wash., for plaintiff-appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington; Walter T. McGovern, Judge.
Before CHAMBERS, WRIGHT and GOODWIN, Circuit Judges.
After conviction and sentence in this firearms case, United States v. Bass, 404 U.S. 336, 92 S.Ct. 515, 30 L.Ed.2d 488 (1971) was decided. With that decision "interstate commerce" takes on a new importance in gun cases.
The case is remanded to the district court to vacate the judgment and reconsider the case in the light of Bass.
