In the US, the 1934 National Firearms Act applies, You cannot build a machine gun, and must have an approved request to build a short barreled rifle or shotgun. NO Federal law prohibits you from building an ordinary firearm FOR YOUR OWN USE. However, unless you have a manufacturer's license, you cannot build them for sale. Title 18, US Code, section 922.
No. The law against being a felon in possession of a firearm is a federal law.
I'm assuming you mean "Can a sex offender own a firearm?" If so, the answer is no. Felons cannot own firearms.
You can OWN it- you cannot POSSESS it. If a convicted felon posseses a firearm (holds it) it is a MAJOR violation of Federal law, punishable for LONG prison terms.
It's very broad, the way you asked it. It can be having a firearm in some location where firearms are not allowed (inside a jail, for instance) or it can be having a firearm that is illegal to own, or it can be having possession of a firearm when you aren't authorized to (carrying without a permit, for instance).
Not in the US. If you have been convicted of a felony, it is a violation of Federal law to POSSESS a firearm. Own, yes, possess, no. Covered in 18 US Cobde, section 922.
No. Federal Law says that anyone convicted of a Felony is ineligible to own a firearm under the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act.
No, regardless of any state law which may or may not address it, it is a violation of FEDERAL LAW (USC, Title 18) for convicted felons to own or possess firearms or ammunition of any type.
A convicted felon may not possess a firearm in ANY US state. This is governed by Federal law, and applies in every state. Law has existed since 1968.
this is the only law that i know of that will allow a felon to leagally own a firearm.....i have heard so many people say that no matter what a felon can never own a firearm,well this law says you can!!1
Very simply, a felon cannot own or have possession of a firearm, anywhere in the U.S. There is an exception. IN SOME CASES a felon can have some or all of his rights restored.
Not in California, nor in any other state. Violates Federal law.
Felons are prohibited by Federal law from owning any firearm.
