§§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we
affirm.
Harris contends that his sentence is substantively unreasonable in light of the
circumstances of the offense. The district court did not abuse its discretion in
imposing Harris’s sentence. See Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007).
The sentence at the bottom of the Guidelines range is substantively reasonable in
light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors and the totality of the
circumstances, including Harris’s criminal history and the need to promote respect
for the law. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51.
AFFIRMED.
