Have you tried filing for expungement under your State's laws?

Can an expungement help me to lawfully possess firearms? the
answer is frequently: Yes.

Because an expungement removes the criminal conviction, it may
have the effect of removing the disqualification placed upon a
"convicted person" from purchasing or possessing firearms under
the firearm licensing/possessory law of some states.

A State expungement may also remove the Federal disqualification
for convicted felons purchasing or possessing firearms. At one
time an individual needed a Federal relief from disabilities even
though they had a State expungement. Under the 1986 Gun Owners
Protection Act, this was changed so that the Federal Government
recognizes State expungement. This express recognition may
be found under the U.S.C.A. Title 18, 921(a)(20). Expungement of
an otherwise qualifying offense also removes one from being
subjected to the Lautenberg Domestic Violence Misdemeanor Gun Ban.
