Does the sentence imposed by a federal district court for a charge of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and/or cause grievous bodily harm exceed the statutory minimum sentence?

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Sanchez-Restrepo, 1995 WL 338815, 57 F.3d 1078 (9th Cir. 1995):
Sanchez received the statutory minimum sentence (120 months) for his offense. The district court had no discretion to adjust his sentence below the statutory minimum. See United States v. Kidder, 869 F.2d 1328, 1334 (9th Cir.1989). Therefore we affirm the sentence imposed by the district court. 2
