You must be kidding!!! Under federal law, 18 USC 921 (33), any person convicted of a domestic violence (DV) charge, felony or misdemeanor, is not allowed to own any firearm. There is an exception if the charge is vacated under state law, and the state law is either silent about or allows the restoration of firearm rights. Check with your state. I am working on a case now in which there was a conviction under the DV charge, the case was reopened and the charge was reduced to a minor misdemeanor that would not affect gun ownership. The state agency said no, and the person is incarcerated facing unlawful possession charges, a felony. You must check with your state law, it would b advisable to contact an attorney in your state to find out if your right can be restored to avoid a possible prison term for a serious felony.

If you have a domestic violence conviction, you can't legally purchase a gun anywhere in the U.S. unless you have had your rights restored.
Expungement won't restore firearms rights. It places your conviction out of the public eye; it doesn't make it go away. If your conviction was for something which is ONLY a felony at state level (not under federal law), you can apply for relief of disability. If it's a federal felony, or a domestic violence conviction, you're pretty much out of luck.
If a female is convicted of Domestic Violence they will be subject to the same restrictions as males convicted of the same offense.

Yes. See an attorney asap
It depends on where you are and what the local requirements are. For instance, in the U.S. if you are a felon or if you have a conviction for misdemeanor domestic violence, you cannot have a gun unless you have had your rights restored. Then, on top of that, each state sets its own rules for permits.
