High Court to look at gun case?
The Supreme Court considered Wednesday whether people convicted of a crime overseas can be barred from owning a gun in the United States, with the argument at times centering on how the absent Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist might rule.

U.S. law forbids felons from owning guns, with a few exceptions for antitrust and trade violations. At issue in the case is whether Congress meant to include foreign convictions when it criminalized firearm possession by anybody convicted in “any court.”
Not a particularly important gun case in my opinion (after all, what about voting rights for the same?) but it would be the first gun case they took up in a while.
