Apply to your closest US District Attorney. A private attorney may be able to help if the US Attorney is difficult.
Additional: The above might apply if you were convicted of a FEDERAL crime.
However, if you were convicted of a state crime in state court, - every state has slightly different procedures and the above advice to seek the assistance of an attorney is well founded.

If it's a federal felony, or a domestic violence conviction, you're pretty much out of luck.

Well, it all depends on your situation. If you've convicted of something which is a felony only at state level, and NOT a federal felony, it MIGHT be possible to have your gun rights restored.

Again, you need the services of a lawyer here, who can be privy to the exact details of your situation, and can make a determination as to the feasibility of trying to have your gun rights restored.
