and abetting. Finding no error, we affirm.
      Guedea argues that the district court erred by enhancing his sentence for
possession of a dangerous weapon under U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(1). The record
shows that Guedea sold and delivered drugs for his brother, Luis Guedea Veloz,
and collected money owed to Veloz for drugs. Guedea was involved in an exten-
sive drug conspiracy that involved large quantities of drugs and money. Numer-
ous weapons were found at locations where the drug activities had taken place.
Ammunition was found at a location where Guedea had sold drugs and collected
drug money owed to Veloz.
      In light of these facts, the district court did not clearly err in finding that
Veloz’s possession of a dangerous weapon was reasonably foreseeable to Guedea.
See United States v. Cisneros-Gutierrez, 517 F.3d 751, 765-66 (5th Cir. 2008).
Consequently, the judgment is AFFIRMED.
