Well, maybe they do lose some rights.

Quote:United States[edit]

In the United States, loss of rights due to criminal conviction can take several forms, including voting disenfranchisement, exclusion from jury duty, and loss of the right to possess firearms

Specifically, the loss of rights varies a bit from State to State.  In fact many States hold that a person convicted of a felony must qualify for a restoration of rights, in order to register and vote.  Pretty sure that the firearm part is Federal.
