lost by felons, however, is the right to possess a firearm. See, e.g., RSA 159:3 (2014) (criminalizing the possession of firearms by convicted felons). Limiting the applicable rights to the so-called “core” civil rights, to the exclusion of other rights typically stripped from convicted felons, appears to be inconsistent with that reasoning. The petitioner does not argue that firearm possession is a civil right under Massachusetts law, and, in any event, relevant case law appears to preclude that argument. See United States v. Nazzaro, 778 F. Supp. 1, 2 (D. Mass. 1991) (concluding that “possession of a firearm is not a civil right... [under] Massachusetts law”), aff'd, 985 F.2d 552 (1st Cir. 1993); Chief of Police of Shelburne v. Moyer, 453 N.E.2d 461, 464 (Mass. App. Ct. 1983) (<HOLDING>); Commonwealth v. Davis, 343 N.E.2d 847, 848-49
