The question presented is whether each separate conviction under Section 924(c)(1) requires only a separate predicate crime of violence or drug trafficking offense, as the Third, Fourth, and Eighth Circuits have held, or also requires a separate act of using, carrying, or possessing a firearm, as the Second, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, and D.C. Circuits have held.
