18 U.S.C. 922(g) is the federal law that prohibits anyone ever convicted of any felony to ever possess any firearm either inside or outside of his home. The federal punishment for firearm possession by a felon is up to 10 years in prison.
Because it's against the law... Having been convicted of a felony is regarded as proof of poor character and/or judgement, and thus proof that they are not to be trusted with firearms, or voting. While a mechanism exists to restore rights, it is not often successful.
