Under US FEDERAL law, yes, so long as it uses flint or percussion caps (a felon may not possess AMMUNITION, which includes 209 shotgun primers). HOWEVER, different states have different laws- in several states, a felon may not possess a muzzleloader- you need to check the laws in YOUR state (which State you did not share with us)
Depends on the laws in that state, and the type of muzzle loader. Under Federal law they cannot use a gun with 209 primers (shotgun primers) as the primers are considered ammunition. In some- but NOT all states, they can hunt with a caplock or flintlock.
It is an assembly consisting of the cartridge case, gunpowder, a primer and a projectile (bullet). It is one complete round of ammunition. Early muzzle loading firearms did not use them.
No. It is against both State AND Federal law for a convicted felon to ever own or possess firearms (including black powder muzzle-loaders) or ammunition.
yes cause you use black powder for a muzzle loader but for a real gun its all in the bullet and the hammer...
Guns themselves don't contain any gunpowder, although, in muzzle loading firearms, the powder is loaded into the barrel, at which point, it could be said the gun does contain gunpowder. In firearms which use cartridges, it is the cartridge which contains the gunpowder.
Knives, swords, muzzle loading guns, and bombs.
Money, experience, intended use.

yes
A Blunderbuss (German/Dutch for Thunder box) was a single shot muzzle loading shotgun, with a muzzle that flared out in a small bell. Short range, single shot. Machineguns fire lots of bullets very quickly. Unlike the Blunderbuss, they use cartridges, and can shoot long distances.
Under Federal law, a convicted felon may own an antique firearm, which includes percussion cap and flintlock muzzle loading rifles. Firearms that use a #209 primer (modern shotshell primer) are a problem, since a felon may not possess ammunition, and the 209 primer is considered ammunition.HOWEVER- state law may be more restrictive. For instance, Georgia state law will not permit a felon to own ANY firearm, including a muzzle loader. You need to check the law in YOUR state- and stick to traditional muzzleloaders if allowed.
Muzzle-loaders began to fall out of common use in the mid-19th century with the advent of breech-loading firearms and repeating firearms, which offered faster loading and reloading capabilities. The American Civil War (1861-1865) highlighted the limitations of muzzle-loaders, leading to a rapid transition to more advanced weaponry. By the end of the 19th century, most military forces had largely replaced muzzle-loaders with modern rifles.
