No felon can buy, posess, or live in a house or dwelling where firearms are present. Furthermore if a non-felon buys a firearm for a felon as a gift or to cover for them because they cannot pass the 4473 background check they are aiding a felon and punishable by the same prison sentence. The standard sentence for felony possesion of a firearm is 10 years in a federal prison. But that is rarely handed out. However it would greatly benefit the U.S. if it did hand out this punishment.
However, to clarify part of the answer, the spouse of a felon can own a gun, as long as the spouse can otherwise legally own the gun. However, the gun cannot be stored anywhere the felon could possibly have access to it.

Can the wife of an ex felon own a gun?
That depends on the use of "ex-felon". If the husband was a convicted felon whose conviction was later overturned and their sentence reversed, then the husband is no longer a felon - that is an ex-felon. If the husband is a convicted felon who simply completed his sentence, that is not an ex-felon - that is a felon.In either case, the wife retains the right to own a firearm. However, doing so in the case of a felon husband may send her husband right back to prison - under federal law, a felon may not purchase, possess, or be given access to firearms. Having a firearm in the same home can be considered allowing a felon access to firearms, even if kept in a gun safe.
