FAGG, Circuit Judge.
Carlton Martin and Michael Scott each appeal their jury conviction for the unlawful possession of handguns by a felon. See 18 U.S.C.App. § 1202(a)(1). They assert that the following errors require reversal: (1) the initial stop of the automobile in which the guns were found was unlawful, as was their arrést, thereby invalidating the subsequent auto search; (2) there was insufficient evidence to support Scott’s conviction; and (3) certain remarks by the trial judge prejudiced appellants’ right to a fair trial. We reject each of these arguments and affirm.
