The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Lussier, 128 F.3d 1312 (9th Cir. 1997):
3 The definition of a destructive device in 921 is virtually identical to that in the statute prohibiting unregistered possession of these objects, 26 U.S.C. 5845(f). We can therefore look to cases interpreting 5845(f) for guidance in interpreting 921. See United States v. Hedgcorth, 873 F.2d 1307, 1311 (9th Cir.1989).
