As for federal law, even felons can possess BP firearms, with the exception of in line rifles.

I don't think it has anything to do with felons, Its just simply anyone can buy without any questions asked.
Many good people with black marks from the long past would buy and enjoy pre 1898 arms and not have any problems as long as they remained law abiding.
I have posted this before, but there was a stinking punk living next door with a felony record that was prosecuted and sent back to prison with a charge of Felon in possession of a firearm. That firearm was a BB gun. He would shoot tweety birds in our yard and it didn't mater that the wife was in the yard working in the flower garden.
