Delaware Justice Information System (DELJIS), and learned that the defendant has a prior ·

New Castle County Superior Court for the State of Delaware, which is a crime punishable by ,i
imprisonment for a term exceeding one year. , _
-‘ 9. From you affiant’s training and experience, and from prior discussions with ATF Agents who _
I are expertly trained and experienced in determining the interstate nexus of firearms, your .
affiant knows that the above mentioned firearm was manufactured in a state other than
Delaware such that its possession in Delaware would have necessarily required that the i
A firearm had crossed state lines prior to its possession in Delaware and such that the 1
possession of that firearm in Delaware affected interstate commerce. y i i
l
l0. Based upon your affiant’s training and experience, your affiant submits that there is probable {
cause to believe that the above—mentioned seized firearm contained the frame and receiver of I
a firearm, and that the firearm appeared to be capable of expelling a projectile by action of an l
explosive. _ 4 _ ·
l l. Wherefore, based upon your affiant’s training and experience, your affiant believes that there i
is probable cause to believe that the defendant violated 18 U.S.C. 922(g) and 924(a)(2) by
possessing in and affecting interstate commerce a firearm, after having previously been
convicted of a felony and respectfully requests that the Court issue a Criminal Complaint
charging that offense. . _ `
