What does Kansas law say about the possession of machine guns?

  1. It's completely prohibited

  2. Allowed only for military personnel

  3. Allowed with a special permit

  4. Allowed if registered in accordance with federal law

The correct answer is: Allowed if registered in accordance with federal law

Kansas law states that possession of machine guns is permitted as long as they are registered in accordance with federal law. This aligns with the regulations set forth by the National Firearms Act (NFA), which requires any person wishing to own a machine gun to comply with specific registration requirements and pay a transfer tax. This federal oversight allows for legality within the state, assuming the individual follows all necessary procedures for registration and compliance. While options suggesting complete prohibition or limitations only to military personnel may reflect common misconceptions about firearms laws, they do not accurately depict the state's stance. Kansas allows for legal ownership provided that federal laws are adhered to, thus ensuring both local and national regulations are respected.
