Whether the Tenth Circuit correctly concluded that Mr. Templeton had waived his argument that the evidence was insufficient to support increasing Mr. Templeton's base offense level by four levels pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(6)(B) because there was no spatial connection between the firearms and the marijuana sale where Mr. Templeton's counsel plainly objected that there was no evidence to support the enhancement.
