Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the presence of a firearm in the vicinity of a seller's drug stash ... may suffice to support a § 924(c)(1) conviction because the firearm serves to guard the defendant's stock of drugs. If the surrounding circumstances show that the firearm facilitated the possession of drugs slated for distribution, a defendant may properly be convicted of violationg § 924(c)(1).”
