Could be because 18 USC 922(d) says "convicted in any court." ---Would assume Congress meant any U.S. court, but once written as "any," we are apparently lost.

Would "any" include the court in Iran that sentenced Salman Rushdie? If that's the court's thinking, then Rushdie ought not be allowed to defend himself against any Islamakazis that wish to enforce the Ayatollah's Fatwah. (Any liberal lurkers care to defend that aspect of this gun law?!?)
