There are no specific federal statutes, per se, regarding firearms that are stolen. Guns are considered "property" under the laws of all states, and as such the Possession or Receiving of Stolen Property is a prosecutable offense under STATE LAW. It is against federal law to possess a firearm from which the serial number has been filed off or is disfigured so as to be unreadable. Stolen and recovered firearms are considered "property." When recovered, if they are traceable, they are returned to their rightful owners.
If you got a felony then no guns for you But if a misdemeanor then you can have guns Actually, it depends on what the misdemeanor is. A misdemeanor for domestic violence is a disqualifying offense by federal law.

No. A Federal Firearms License is a licence to engage in the business of selling guns, or to collect guns, or make guns, or import guns, or make ammunition, etc. It has no bearing on CARRYING a gun, which is regulated by STATE law. There is no FEDERAL law on carrying of firearms, except certain Federal property prohibits carry, and that a law enforcement officer may carry in any state. If someone tells you that have a Federal Concealed Carry permit, they are lying.
