BYE, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part, dissenting in part.
I concur the district court did not abuse its discretion by allowing the government to introduce the firearms into evidence. However, because the record indicates, at sentencing, the district court expressed its view of a mandatory application of the guidelines would result in a disproportionate sentence for the defendant, I believe a reasonable probability does exist Arturo Caballero would receive a more favorable sentence under an advisory guideline regime. See United States v. Rodriguez-Ceballos, 407 F.3d 937, 941 (8th Cir.2005). I therefore would vacate and remand for resentencing.
