Jose G. Flores appeals the district court's denial of his motion to suppress a machine gun and silencer which were seized from his residence during a search for electronic piracy devices. In reviewing the denial of a motion to suppress, this court accepts the district court's findings of fact unless they are clearly erroneous, and views those facts in the light most favorable to the government, though the ultimate determination of reasonableness under the Fourth Amendment is a question of law reviewed de novo. United States v. Basham, 268 F.3d 1199, 1203 (10th Cir. 2001), cert. denied, 122 S. Ct. 1336 (2002).

The machine gun and silencer were lawfully seized during the execution of a search warrant. Specifically, the seizure was proper under the plain view doctrine. See United States v. Naugle, 997 F.2d 819, 822 (10th Cir. 1993). Having reviewed the parties' arguments, the district court's order and the record on appeal, we AFFIRM.
