Short answer, they can't. Even if they wanted to (which they don't - Mass. doesn't even want honest citizens owning guns), they couldn't. It's a matter of federal law which prohibits felons from purchasing, possessing, or having access to firearms.

Never. A felon has lost the right to possess a gun.
A felon can be "around" a person with a firearm as long as the felon doesn't own or possess the firearm, however, "possess" is subjective. If the felon can access the firearm, it might be considered possession if something were to happen.

Typically, no. While the one family member being a felon doesn't impede on the right of other family members to possess a firearm, the felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to a firearm. Even if the firearms are kept locked up in a safe which the convicted felon does not have the means to get into, their proximity is considered to be them having access to firearms.
Yes, but firearm must be under lock and key and NOT accessable to the felon
No
