Generally, any violation of law punishable by a prison term of more than one year is a felony. And any violation of law punishable by a prison term of up to ten years is most certainly a felony. I'm surprised an ex-cop doesn't know that.

As I have posted previously, the CFR provisions you keep citing have nothing to do with criminalizing the prohibited items list. None whatsoever.
