• if “evidence of the joined offenses would be inadmissible at separate trials, joinder seems to implicate the set of concerns underlying the so-called propensity rule of evidence.”
• inscription reading “Stevens Savage Arms Corporation, Chicopee Falls, Mass U.S.A.,” combined with ATF agent testimony, was sufficient to show gun had traveled in interstate commerce, despite defendant’s argument that marking might only represent manufacturer’s home office
• “Also, the central contested issue for each count was virtually the same — i.e. constructive possession — and, as a result, the jury did not have to grapple with the application of widely variant governing principles.”
