Assume two people enter into a conspiracy to distribute drugs. One person, A, is a convicted felon. the other, B, is not. During the conspiracy, but unknown to B, A obtains possession of a gun, a violation of a firearms statute prohibiting a convicted felon from owning or possessing a firearm. Can B be convicted of the crime of possession of a firearm under the Pinkerton rule? Do you see problems with applying the rule here? See United States v. Walls, 225 F3d 858 (7th. Cir. 2000).
