It's quite simple - a convicted felon MAY NOT purchase, possess, or have access to firearms. There are no exceptions to this, and it does not matter how much time has passed since the felony conviction - it doesn't go away, the way a traffic ticket does.
Actually, there is an exception. IN SOME CASES, a felon can have some or all of his or her rights restored. It depends on whether the felony is a state felony or a federal charge, and what the circumstances were, and which state you are in. Some states have provisions for reinstatement of rights, some don't.
