If you are convicted of any felony, misdemeanor domestic violence or currently subject to court ordered restraining order for harassing, stalking or threatening your child or intimate partner, you are banned from buying a firearm under Federal law.

The actual form and the complete list of dis-qualifiers is here: https://www.atf.gov/files/forms/download/atf-f-4473-1.pdf

Some states have further restrictions on top of those listed under Federal law.
