First off, the BATFE isn't the agency you would take this matter to. Second off, we'd need to know the reason why you've lost your right to own firearms.

No, convicted felons are not lawfully permitted to possess a firearm in any 50 states and U.S. territories. You may seek to have your charge expunged or sealed if it's expungement eligible and if your felony is non-violent you may seek to have, what is known as "restoration of civil rights" motion filed with the court of appeals.
How long after felony possession of drugs conviction until you can own a gun?
There are two issues here- first, the felony, second, the drugs. Each on its own can disqualify a person from legally possessing a firearm. A convicted felon MAY petition for restoration of civil rights, including firearms, but that process varies from state to state. Until that is done, a felon may not possess a firearm. Please seek legal advice from a real attorney in order to get current accurate information- this is a very serious matter.
How does a convicted felon get their gun rights back in Florida?
It is a violation of federal law (US Code, Title 18) for a convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm. Some states (but by no means all) have a mechanism where a convicted felon might regain a limited access to firearms, but you must have been convicted of a state crime, NOT A FEDERAL CRIME, and submit the proper required applications. Check your state laws carefully. Even if you do get it restored to you, they it will not be honored outside your home state and you can be arrested.--------It is up to the individual state where you live. If a pardon is obtained some states may reinstate your gun owning rights.

Do you still have any firearm disabilities in Texas when you have a full pardon and restoration of full civil rights and a letter of restoration from the secretary of the treasury?
no! a full pardon & restoration of full civil rights without an "express" limitation according to u.s.c. 921 @ 20 negates that conviction & it does not count as a conviction for purposes of firearm ownership/possession. see also: texas attorney general john cornyn's op [opinion] jc-0396. a convicted felon who has a full unconditional pardon is not subject to federal firearm disabilities nor is he considered "convicted" under texas penal code 46.04 see also: the most recent version of tex penal code 46.04 sept 1, 2003. the term convicted does not include a felon who has received a full, unconditional pardon. i am not a lawyer, i am a convicted felon with all of the above. maybe i should be a lawyer as i seem to know the law better than any lawyers i have met

Can a felon with firearm no injuries who completed a 3 yr sentence in1995 bring a Federal conspiracy lawsuit against his Florida PD appellate counsel Prosecutor etc to restore his right to own gun?
I will not even begin to decipher the part of the federal conspiracy blah blah blah, but generally speaking, if you're a felon in possession of a firearm who is arrested and convicted for such it would be considered a weapons offense, which would be considered a violent offense, something that would be almost impossible to be given a pardon or restoration of civil rights for, especially the right to own or possess a gun. If you have any issues with your defense attorney you need to deal with that issue separately.
Can you be a police officer in Indiana with a felony?
The answer is generally, No. Federal law states that convicted felons, as well as those convicted of a crime of domestic violence, cannot carry, possess, or own a firearm. Firearm possession is a requirement for the job, so it pretty much precludes you from employment. About the only way as a convicted felon you could become a police officer is for your felony charge to be expunged, and your civil rights, more specifically your right to possess a firearm, be restored. Even if that happens, you most likely will have a long road ahead, as it is unlikely you will be able to survive a background check with the conviction. Even though it is expunged, police departments can still find an expunged record.
Can a convicted felon in Missouri own a gun?
