No. Granted 'clemency' or not, you remain convicted of the crime with which you were charged - a convicted felon. It is a federal offense for a convicted felon to ever own or "possess" a firearm (US Code, Title 18).

The felony would have to be pardoned for this right to be restored. This will be the case wherever you go in the United States.
