Ah, I know. I mean the at the Federal level that charge is extremely limiting. Say someone pushed his wife, that is considered a simple assault (touching) If convicted at state level FBI NICS would come negative.

I think the main idea is that one should not push his wife or lay hands on her in any manner considered aggressive. Society has become much less accepting of physical abuse on a spouse. The law reflects the seriousness of the situation.

Your best option is "to purge" the DA from your record. Hire an attorney or petition the court to restore your right for LTC/CHL.

A completed Felony DA is only counted as a conviction for 10 years for LTC purposes.

Thank you. Now how come a misdemeanor family assault conviction is Federally banning the actor from owning firearms for life?

The key word is Federally. And a DA, whatever level is not considered a conviction Federally but for LTC Texas considers it a conviction for a period of time.
