How did Eugene V. Debs's conviction following the Pullman Strike affect the labor movement?
Debs's conviction reinforced federal authority to halt strikes
How can you expunge your criminal background in order to get your gun rights back?
Expungement won't restore firearms rights. It places your conviction out of the public eye; it doesn't make it go away. If your conviction was for something which is ONLY a felony at state level (not under federal law), you can apply for relief of disability. If it's a federal felony, or a domestic violence conviction, you're pretty much out of luck.
Can you buy a gun legally after a felony conviction?

What does a felon have to do to own a gun?
Get their conviction overturned.
21 yrs ago you got a felony now you want a gun?
IF your conviction was for a State crime, you MAY be able to petition for restoration of gun rights. This WILL require an attorney. Be sure to get this right, since the penalty for being a felon in possession is 5 years in a Federal prison. Process will vary state to state- which is why you need an attorney. If your conviction was for a Federal felony, unless you have received a Presidential pardon, there is no way to remove that bar.
Can a person that is disabled and also has a record of a class a misdemeanor get a gun permit?
It depends on where you are. In the U.S. each state sets its own rules. I can tell you, by federal law, the only misdemeanor that disqualifies you from owning a gun is a misdemeanor conviction for domestic violence.
What are the similarities and differences between the conviction in the state courts and conviction in federal court?
A person is more likely to be convicted in a state court than in a federal court.
Can your gun rights be restored after a felony conviction in Arkansas?
If it's a felony only at state level, it might be possible; if you were convicted for something classed as a felony under federal law, you cannot.
