You have to apply to get it back thru the clemency website of your state. Honestly i dont think they give it back to federal felons but i could be wrong so give it a shot. But i seriously doubt it tho. Reason why is because the worse the felony is then the less likely you can get any of your rights back and with federal felony being the worse before the worse then id doubt that they would give you your rights back. Good luck tho

For instance, although there are provisions in place on paper for federal felons to petition for the return of their firearms rights, Congress has consistently failed to fund the mechanism for implementing it. Therefore you will NOT get your federal right to possess a firearm returned in the foreseeable future (if ever). Contact the office of your local Congressman or contact the local office of the US Attorney for more explicit information.
