  • holding a defendant need not know he is a prohibited person to be convicted of unlawful possession under section 922(g)
  • \[Defendant] suggests that Rehaif would have obligated the government to prove his 'subjective knowledge that he [was] violating the law.' This is not the case.\ (alteration in original)
  • \Austin misconstrues the nature of the status element. Austin suggests that Rehaif would have obligated the government to prove his 'subjective knowledge that he [was] violating the law.' This is not the case.\ (alteration in original)
  • “Given Austin’s own statements to law enforcement 28 that he was “‘definitely’ a convicted felon,” it is difficult to believe that, had he been aware of Rehaif’s holding, Austin would have attempted to contest the status element at trial.”
