• holding that a perpetrator who placed a towel over her hand to give the appearance of having a gun “created a risk that [her] actions would provoke a violent response by victims or the police”
• noting that the “increased chance of an armed response creates a greater risk to the physical security of victims, bystanders, and even the perpetrators[.]” (internal quotation omitted)
• “In Guideline cases, courts have thus relied on McLaughlin to hold that a defendant brandished, possessed or displayed a ‘dangerous weapon’ . . . .”
