It was in place well before my conviction. Furthermore, it's retroactive anyway.

Congress is prohibited from passing ex post facto laws by clause 3 of Article I, Section 9 of the United States Constitution.

I am finished commenting on this thread.

The Lautenberg amendment wasn't law until 1996 so I don't see how it could apply to your conviction.

I have the same question. Not legal advice or opinion, but IMO your conviction, and subsequent expunction would not deny you gun ownership.
Get all of your legal paperwork in order to turn in with your application. Good luck.
