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

  1. Semi-automatic weapons

  2. Machine guns

  3. Short-barreled shotguns

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Machine guns

In Nebraska, the law prohibits the possession of machine guns. This restriction is rooted in both federal and state regulations that aim to control fully automatic firearms due to their potential for mass destruction and the difficulty of ensuring safe handling and storage. While semi-automatic weapons and short-barreled shotguns are regulated, they are not outright illegal in the state. Semi-automatic firearms, as long as they comply with legal specifications, can be owned, and short-barreled shotguns may be legally possessed if the appropriate taxes and regulations are followed under federal law. Therefore, the specific prohibition on machine guns makes this the correct identifier of illegal possession in Nebraska.
