chosen.content: In some instances, yes. Depending on the type of felony and the laws in the jurisdiction, some felons may be able to purchase a gun. Generally, this is only possible after the person has completed their sentence, including any probation or parole, and has had their civil rights restored. Additionally, some states require a background check and waiting period before an eligible felon can purchase a gun. Check the laws in your area to see if this applies to you.

rejected.content: In most cases, a felon cannot purchase a gun. Under federal law, it is illegal for a felon to purchase or possess a firearm. However, some states have laws that grant the right to purchase a gun to those with felony convictions after a certain period of time. It is important to check with your local gun laws for the specifics. Additionally, some gun dealers will sell firearms to those with felony convictions, but this should always be checked locally to be aware of the laws.
