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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Thus, for example, “reference to a firearm calculated to bring about a change in the circumstances of a predicate offense is a ‘use’ just as the silent but obvious and forceful presence of a gun on a table can be ‘use.’” (citation omitted). ... A firearm serves such a purpose when it elevates the stakes involved during a defendant’s arrest by apprehending law enforcement officials, such as when the firearm is displayed to apprehending law enforcement officers or when the defendant reaches for the weapon while being apprehended.”
