Lesson learned for me: I knew they couldn't own but it never occurred to me that they couldn't even touch one. Absurdity.
This is part of the reason that the S&W shooting sports center shut down... a felon rented a gun there, feds found out about it, and S&W got sick of dealing with the bullshit.... although honestly in that case I think they shut it down because it wasn't profitable enough, but they used that incident as an excuse prelude to close it.
