    This is a federal issue because the Omnibus Consolidated
    Appropriations Act of 1997 made several amendments to the
    Federal Gun Control Act of 1968. The amendments prohibit the
    possession of firearms and ammunition by persons convicted of
    state or federal misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence and
    the distribution of firearms and ammunition to such persons.

    It appears it is too late at this point to appeal the
    conviction. Your only hope is to get the DV removed from your
    record. This is very difficult. A simple pardon won't work --
    it has to specifically state that all your civil rights
    including gun rights have been restored.
