to my limited knowledge,if you have ever been convicted of a felony,or of misdemenor domestic violence,you are barred form ever owning a firearm..go try to buy one and see if they deny you is the best way

It depends on the state. Consult a lawyer and don't listen to the nonsense here on Yahoo, 80% of it is made up on the spot. Firearms rights, like voting rights, CAN be restored but procedures vary by state.

Federal law prohibits a felon from owning a firearm

Conviction of any felony, precludes you from EVER being able to own a firearm, unless you can get the felony expunged from your record. even then it will be difficult.

You cannot legally own a firearm. Unfortunately, it is way too easy for you to illegally own one.
