1Opinion of the Court
WILLIAM A. NORRIS, Circuit Judge:
Carlos Gregorio Martinez appeals his convictions for armed carjacking, 18 U.S.C. § 2119, using or carrying a firearm during commission of a crime of violence, 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1), and being an armed career criminal, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e).
On appeal, Martinez argues that: (1) the Anti-Car Theft Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2119, was enacted in violation of the commerce clause; (2) section 2119 is void for vagueness and ambiguity; (3) section 2119 requires specific rather than general intent for conviction; (4) the imposition of consecutive sentences under section 924(c)(1)…
