The federal conviction rate is higher compared to other jurisdictions due to several factors, including the resources and expertise of federal prosecutors, the types of cases handled at the federal level, and the stricter sentencing guidelines in federal courts. Additionally, federal cases often involve more serious offenses and complex investigations, leading to a higher likelihood of conviction.
Much will depend on the circumstances. The maximum is, in some jurisdictions, the death penalty. In other jurisdictions, the maximum could be life (or multiples thereof) with no parole. At the other extreme, if the person doing the shooting can convince authorities s/he was acting in self-defence, there might be no charge, no conviction, and no penalty.
A federal conviction found in the NCIC may in some states be discovered during a background check. States that defer to the federal NICS check may not find any such conviction. However, states like Oregon that run independent searches will find any NICS, NCIC and a few other data bases convictions.

Sorry to tell you that it will be on your record forever. A word of advice if I may: If you are a convicted federal felon be careful of yourself, and check carefully what other people tell you about your "rights' being restored. Unfortunately for you, even after you successfully serve your time, it ain't gonna happen - not with a federal beef.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is an agency of the United States government that primarily focuses on federal law enforcement and intelligence. The police, on the other hand, refers to the law enforcement agencies that operate at the local or state level. Both the FBI and local police have different roles and jurisdictions, so it's difficult to compare them and say one is better than the other. Each agency serves a unique purpose and has its own responsibilities in maintaining law and order in their respective jurisdictions.

The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching, while the United States Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. The removal of impeached officials is automatic upon conviction in the Senate.

An example of concurrent power is the ability to levy taxes; both the federal government and state governments can impose taxes on individuals and businesses. Other examples include the power to borrow money and to regulate commerce within their respective jurisdictions.
