Re: purchasing a firearm
That's controlled by federal law. It depends on what you were convicted of if anything. Remember the federal definition of a felony is if you could get more than a year in jail. An aggravated misdemeanor in Iowa nets you two years and thus can be considered a felony which bars one from owning a firearm.
