You’re correct, but in practice it doesn’t work that way, unless you’re arrested with the firearm. For example, in 90% of rap videos they show a felon with a gun. An arrest post facto is very rare

OK, so this is a bit lawyerish (I'm not a lawyer) but you don't seem to understand the reply you are replying to.

He's not allowed to possess a firearm, his offence was completed

This does not mean brandish nor have on one's person, possession means be within reach of or ease of accessibility to.

This is clearly a Federal firearms charge,
