What type of firearm is it illegal to possess in Kansas?

Semi-automatic rifles
Fully automatic firearms without a proper license
Shotguns with a barrel length of 28 inches
Handguns with a magazine capacity of 15 rounds

The correct answer is: Fully automatic firearms without a proper license

In Kansas, it is illegal to possess fully automatic firearms without a proper license. Fully automatic firearms, also known as machine guns, are tightly regulated under federal law and require a special license (such as a Class 3 license) to own and possess legally. Possessing a fully automatic firearm without the appropriate license is a serious violation of both federal and state laws. Regarding the other options: - A. Semi-automatic rifles are legal to possess in Kansas as long as they are in compliance with state and federal laws. - C. Shotguns with a barrel length of 28 inches are not illegal to possess in Kansas. Barrel length regulations typically apply to shotguns intended for hunting rather than outright criminalization. - D. Handguns with a magazine capacity of 15 rounds are also legal to possess in Kansas unless specific restrictions are imposed by state or federal law.
