1Opinion of the Court
MAGILL, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal by the United States from a judgment of acquittal. Ivory Mosby, now known as Rafiz Zareef Muhaymin, was charged with violating 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) by “possess[ing], in or affecting commerce, ... ammunition” after he had been convicted of a felony. Because we find that the district court misconstrued § 922(g)(1) by imposing an unjustified limitation on the type of “commerce” that Mosby’s possession must be “in or affecting,” we reverse and remand for entry of judgment on the jury’s verdict.
