Yes, so long as any of the misdemeanors didn't include a domestic violence conviction. Misdemeanor convictions for drug use may also cost you your right to purchase or possess firearms- known as "being addicted to, or an unlawful user of controlled drugs". That is one of the questions on the Form 4473 you complete when buying a firearm.

However, it will depend on WHAT the misdemeanor IS- a conviction of a crime of domestic violence- even if a misdemeanor is a bar to possession of firearms- as is being an unlawful user of controlled drugs.

It depends on what the charge is. Under federal law, you cannot own a firearm if you have been convicted of a misdemeanor of domestic violence. Some states also have additional laws limiting ownership.
