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?!?)

"Would "any" include the court in Iran that sentenced Salman Rushdie?..."

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals would probably say yes.

We don't have a trade agreement with Iran,and they won't soon be a part of the same country. This is just setting the ground for our accepting Mexican law as part of our legal code.
