sentence that may be imposed for a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(l)(A)(ii), providing instead that the defendant shall “be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than 7 years,” we have held that the statutory maximum sentence for all subsections of § 924(c)(1)(A) is life imprisonment. See United States v. Pounds, 230 F.3d 1317, 1319 (11th Cir.2000). “Every other Court of Appeals to address this issue has reached the same conclusion.” United States v. McCollum, 548 Fed.Appx. 65, 66-67 (3d Cir.2013) (collecting cases). Accordingly, because the “maximum term of imprisonment authorized” under § 924(c)(1)(A) is life imprisonment, it is properly classified as a “Class A felony” under 18 U.S.C. § 3559(a)(1). See also United States v. Cudjoe, 634 F.3d 1163, 1166 (10th Cir.2011) (<HOLDING>); United States v. Miles, 947 F.2d 1234,
holding that a prior nonarizona conviction to be used as a prior felony conviction under the statute must both be for an offense that would constitute a felony in arizona and be classified as a felony in the other jurisdiction holding that where the guidelines range was six to 12 months for the underlying offense the contempt should be classified as a class a misdemeanor holding that for purposes of applying enhanced penalty in  841b1a felony drug offense includes any crime punishable by more than one year of imprisonment regardless of whether it is classified as a felony or a misdemeanor holding that an offense under  924c1a is properly classified as a class a felony because the sentencing range for a violation of  924c1a extends to life imprisonment holding in part that robbery as a class b felony is not necessarily a lesserincluded offense of robbery as a class a felony
