1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
This is a case in which more care by the government at the plea agreement stage could have staved off an unnecessarily complex and unproductive sentencing. On October 21, 1992, a grand jury returned a two count indictment against Ronald G. Ritsema. Count I charged Ritsema, a convicted felon, with possessing two semi-automatic pistols and two rifles in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Count II charged Ritsema with possessing two unregistered silencers (which were attached to the barrels of the rifles referred to in Count I), in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 5861(d).
