In the US, Federal law (Title 18, US Code, Section 922) provides that a person convicted of a felony may not possess a firearm. You can OWN one, but not possess one. Many states DO have a process where a person that has been convicted of a felony may apply for a restoration of their right to own a gun. No such provision is made for convictions of Federal law. You WILL need an attorney in your state to provide effective legal guidance in this.
