The question answers itself. If you are a convicted felon you cannot legally own a gun. Also, if you have been convicted of domestic violence, even if it is a misdemeanor, you cannot legally own a gun. You gave that right up when the crime was committed.

That all depends on the nature of the felony, and how long ago. IF the felony was a crime of domestic violence, then FEDERAL law prohibits you from ever possessing a firearm. If it was a violent felony or a felony involving a firearm in the past 20 years, no. Start by hiring an attorney- you will need one.

Can you buy a gun with a DUI felony?

IIRC, a DUI felony is a state, and not federal felony. At the moment, no - federal law prohibits anyone with a felony record from purchasing, possessing, or having access to a firearm. However, if you get yourself an attorney, it MIGHT be possible for you to have your firearms rights restored, provided it's a felony only at state, and not federal level. Bear in mind, though, that nothing is guaranteed.
