Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
T.G. NELSON, Circuit Judge:
Terry Bruce Lussier appeals his conviction for possession of firearms by a convicted felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) based on his possession of homemade CO2 explosive devices. 1 Lussier contends that because the explosive devices were not commercially manufactured, the Government was required to prove that he actually intended to use the devices as weapons. We have jurisdiction over this appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Because we conclude that the Government was not required to prove Lussier’s intent in possessing the devices, we affirm.
