Can a 45 year old misdemeanor assault conviction cause a person to be deny the right to own a gun?

Depends on the conviction. Under US Federal law, a conviction for a crime of "domestic violence" will disqualify you from legally possessing a firearm. That would be a violent crime committed against a family member or domestic partner. Assault and battery of a spouse/ girlfriend could be a misdemeanor and be a disqualifier. There is no time limit- the disability is permanent unless the person receives a pardon. For legal advice I would direct you to an attorney licensed to practice in your state.
