Ever since Sandy Hook everyone is worried about getting guns. You must be convicted of a felony or some misdemeanors like domestic violence before your rights to own guns is suspended.

That record, as stated, is not a bar to firearms ownership unless the court specifically ordered a ban on firearms for a specific length of time.

Yes. Non domestic violence misdemeanors don't usually prohibit gun ownership.
