Does a district court err by refusing to allow jurors to take a firearm into the jury room during deliberations?

Third, the district court did not err by refusing to allow the jurors to take the firearm into the jury room during deliberations. A district court "enjoys considerable discretion in construing the scope of a jury inquiry and in framing a response tailored to the inquiry." United States v. Rommy, 506 F.3d 108, 126 (2d Cir. 2007). We conclude that the district court's compromise of allowing each juror to examine the firearm and jacket in open court, coupled with its admonishment that the jurors should not deliberate or have discussions while in open court, was reasonable and far from an abuse of discretion.
