Campos argues that the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) did not prove that he was convicted of a firearm offense within the meaning of § 1251(a)(2)(C). He argues that the record of conviction does Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. not indicate that the weapon he was convicted of carrying was in fact a firearm.
