Before a felon can own any type of a gun, his civil rights must be restored. Since it was at the federal level, they must be restored by the president. You do not apply to the White House. There is an office where you apply. That office will send you the information. There should be a web site for information on what website to use to get the proper application. When the proper office approves, the president's approval is almost automatic. He receives a bunch of applications and orders some secretary to stamp his signature on the proper forms.
He reviews actual pardons himself.
