1Opinion of the Court
BAUER, Circuit Judge.
A jury convicted John E. Parker of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). On appeal, Parker argues that the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress a rifle recovered by the police during the search of his home because his arrest without probable cause invalidated the search. 1 Parker also argues that the rifle is not a “firearm” within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 921. We affirm both the district court’s denial of Parker’s motion to suppress and Parker’s conviction.
