Question Presented (from Petition)

The question presented is whether, after Davis, the invocation of Pinkerton theory of liability by the government, without more, obviates the government's requirement to satisfy the force/elements clause and allows the government to prosecute a §924(c) offense based upon allegations and evidence that the defendant was engaged in a conspiracy?
