STATEMENT OF REASONS
The court adopts the presentence report and advisory applications but with these changes: Pursuant to the United States Supreme Court ruling in the United States v. Booker and United States v. Fanfan, the United States Sentencing Commission Guidelines have become advisory. The Court, while not bound to apply the Guidelines, has consulted the advisory guidelines and taken them into account with the sentencing factors identified at 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). Chapter Two of the U.S.S.G. Manual The silencers should not be used to enhance the sentencing guidelines and the defendant possessed the firearms solely for lawful sporting purposes and collection. ADVISORY GUIDELINE RANGE DETERMINED BY THE COURT (BEFORE DEPARTURES): Total Offense Level: 4 Criminal History Category: I Imprisonment Range: 0 to 6 months Probation Range: 1 to 5 years Fine Range: $250 to $5,000

The fine is waived because of the defendant's inability to pay. RESTITUTION DETERMINATIONS Total Amount of Restitution: None.

DEPARTURE The sentence departs below the advisory guideline range for the following reasons: The Court determined that a downward departure was warranted based on the defendant' physical injury (U.S.S.G. § 5K2.2) and because his actions in the instant offense resulted s in a lesser harm (U.S.S.G. § 5K2.11.)

The court concludes that this statement of reasons for imposing a sentence in a criminal case is presumptively a matter of public interest and scrutiny. See S. Rep. No. 225, 98th Cong., 1st Sess. 1983, 1984 U.S.C.C.A.N. 3182, 3263 (1983) ("The statement of reasons . . . informs defendant and the public of the reasons for the sentence. It provides information to criminal justice researchers.") No party has made a sufficient showing of "good cause," Fed R. Crim. P. 32(i)(4)(C), why it should not be a matter of public record. Therefore, to facilitate systematic documentation of any decision concerning departure, in compliance with 18 U.S.C.A. § 3553(c)(2), this statement of reasons shall be entered and filed by the clerk as part of the judgment.
