He can, but doing so is a violation of federal felony firearms regulations. It is not legal anywhere in the US for a felon to be in possession (and that can include close proximity to) of a firearm. Federal regulation denotes a firearm as any device that expels a projectile by means of explosive force. An air rifle fits that definition.
