TROTT, Circuit Judge:

OVERVIEW

Sahr Jarvouhey, a licensed firearms dealer, appeals his conditional guilty-plea conviction for selling semi-automatic weapons while willfully failing to keep records of the name, age, and residence of the purchaser, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(b)(5). Jarvouhey argues that the district court erred by treating his crime as a felony under 18 U.S.C.
