No, a felon is someone convicted of a certain classification of crime, regardless of sentence or whether or not violence was involved. Overdraw your checking account beyond a certain point and it's felony check fraud, meaning that, depending on where you live, you could have permanently lost your right to vote in America.

I think it's usually restricted to "violent" felonies must like felony murder. Usually they enumerate the felonies necessary for this kind of thing.
