2019In the aftermath of our decisions holding the residual clauses of the ACCA and § 16(b) unconstitutionally vague, the government “abandon[ed] its longstanding position” that § 924(c)(3)(B) requires a categorical analysis and began urging lower courts to “adopt a new ‘case specific’ method” that would look to “the ‘defendant’s actual conduct’ in the predicate offense.” [United States v. Davis, 903 F.3d 483, 485 (5th Cir. 2018)].
