They can't. And won't. Convicted felons are prohibited from owning (or even "obtaining") a firearm in all 50 states. But if civil rights have been restored (usually by the state governor or a clemecy board), then the person can possibly obtain a firearm legally. But he/she would not need the help of the NRA to do so. One more point about the NRA: convicted felons cannot be members of the NRA.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) does not provide assistance or support to convicted felons in obtaining firearms. Felons are typically prohibited by federal law from possessing firearms, and the NRA does not engage in activities that would violate these laws or support illegal firearm possession. The organization promotes responsible gun ownership and advocates for the protection of Second Amendment rights within the confines of existing laws.
