• holding prior convictions that were 11 and 18 years old were not too remote where, in the period since the 18-year-old conviction, defendant was incarcerated for 12 years
• preventing cross-examination on a speculative theory of bias with no good-faith basis is not an abuse of discretion
• “Knowing possession of a firearm is an element of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1
