• holding that knowledge of intent was not required if the circumstances gave the defendant reason to believe that the weapons would be used unlawfully
• explaining that when determining whether a defendant knew his conduct would result in the transfer of firearms to someone that would trigger the trafficking enhancement, courts look “to the circumstances known to the defendant”
• upholding § 2K2.1(b)(5) enhancement when there was evidence of several purchases by a single buyer, resales of guns, use of a straw buyer, or obliteration of serial numbers on guns
• denying the § 2K2.1(b)(5) enhancement because \the Government failed to present any evidence that [the defendant] knew that his conduct would result in a firearm being transferred to such an individual [one convicted of the narrowly defined offenses]\
