ALL felons are barred from getting their gun rights back - it's just possible for a non-federal felon to obtain relief of disability. A similar mechanism for relief of disability does exist in the federal system - however, it receives absolutely zero funding, which is what makes it impossible for a federal felon. Don't expect any lobbying to be done for it, either - the prospect of funding a mechanism which allows a federal felon to again possess firearms is going to meet some very stiff opposition, both from pro- and anti-gun lobbies, not to mention the remainder of the general public.

2 priviliges I am sure of are never being able to own a fire arm and never voting in elections.There may be more, I am not sure. In the state of Maine felons can vote. I have a felony conviction and I voted in the last presidential election.
How can a felon get their right to have a firearm in Massachusetts?
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.
Can a convicted felon vote in Massachusetts?
Yes. Many felons in Massachusetts think they've permanently lost the right to vote and much of that misconception was created in the year 2000, when a successful ballot question removed the right to vote for convicted felons while they were serving their time. But as soon as a person is released, his or her right to vote is restored.

List a limitation for the right to bear arms?
While the 2nd Amendment was recently held by the Supreme Court to confer an individual right to keep guns in the home for self-defense, this right currently only applies against the federal government. This means that individual states, at least for now, could ban the ownership of all guns outright, but no states have done this (though some states are very restrictive on what types of guns individuals may own). In many states, assault weapons are illegal. The federal government can also restrict the possession of guns on federal property (federal courthouses, federal office buildings, etc.). Furthermore, many states prohibit convicted felons from owning guns.
What criminal felony can make one lose their citizenship?
No. A Convicted felon may lose certain rights for a limited period of time, but almost all are restored at the end of the probation or parole period. or when the sentence has been completely served. Felons may lose the right to vote for a period of time, or lose the right to associate with other felons. Felons lose their right, forever, of owning or possessing a firearm or ammunition, under Federal law. If a convicted felon is a person who is not a US citizen, but who is allowed here under a VISA or has a green card, THEY can lose their right to remain in the US after being convicted of a felony.
Can you get your rights back after a federal felony?
You have to apply to get it back thru the clemency website of your state. Honestly i dont think they give it back to federal felons but i could be wrong so give it a shot. But i seriously doubt it tho. Reason why is because the worse the felony is then the less likely you can get any of your rights back and with federal felony being the worse before the worse then id doubt that they would give you your rights back. Good luck tho
