NATHANIEL R. JONES, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur fully in the Chief Judge’s opinion. I write separately only to express my belief that the failure of counsel at Rice’s second trial to object to the handgun evidence constituted ineffective assistance that would itself have satisfied the cause and prejudice standard. See Murray v. Carrier, — U.S. -, 106 S.Ct. 2639, 2646, 91 L.Ed.2d 397 (1986); accord Cook v. Foltz, 814 F.2d 1109, 1113 (6th Cir.1987) (Merritt, J., concurring).
