Part A revised the §2B3.1(b)(2)(B) 2-level enhancement to apply only if a person’s freedom was physically restricted (e.g., tied or confined) and clarified the 6-level enhancement to uniformly account for firearm use during robbery. Parallel changes were made to §2B3.2 and §2E2.1. Part B clarified that traffic stops are not “intervening arrests” under the §4A1.2(a)(2) single-sentence rule.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmendment 833 (Drug Offenses)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRevised §2D1.1 to address low-level roles and mens rea.
