How has the Court treated the issue of whether a firearm had been made available to defendant?

Ultimately, we need not decide whether in defendant's somewhat metaphysical argument that the court somehow erred in referring to a firearm having been made available to defendant as opposed to his possessing it. Even if the trial court's answer to the jury's question was legally erroneous, and we do not decide that it was, the error was, without question, harmless. We may assume for the purpose of resolving this appeal that we must find the argued error harmless beyond a reasonable doubt under Chapman v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 18 [17 L.Ed.2d 705].
