A neo-Nazi deported by Germany to the United States earlier this year after serving time in European prisons for spreading anti-Semitic and racist literature was arrested in Nebraska for illegally trying to obtain a gun permit. Gary Lauck, who lied on a gun permit application about his four years in prison, has argued in court that his German conviction should not be held against him in the United States, where his right to distribute the material would be protected by free speech laws.
