a crime of violence as defined in present law, or any crime defined as an attempt to commit
a crime of violence under the laws of Louisiana, or has been convicted under the laws of any
other state or of the United States or of any foreign government or country of a crime which,
if committed in this state, would be a crime of violence, from possessing a firearm or
