Under Title 18, US code, section 922, a person convicted of ANY felony is prohibited from possessing a firearm anywhere in the US. Federal law. Whether the crime was violent or not MAY have a bearing on whether gun rights may be restored at a later time, but does not affect the prohibition. You should consult an attorney licensed in your state- I am a gun collector, not attorney.

Is unlawful use of a firearm considered violent or non violent?

It will only be considered violent if you point the gun at a person, attempt to fire the gun at a person, or shoot at a person. But first off, if you are using a gun unlawfully, you will already be fined significantly. As far as the law is concerned, any use of a firearm unlawfully will be considered violent, whether any of the above is done or not. Minor firearm offenses, such as improper transport methods in a car, are not.
