Who is prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law?

  1. Individuals under the age of 18

  2. Individuals convicted of a felony

  3. Individuals who have never received firearms training

  4. Individuals with a hunting license

The correct answer is: Individuals convicted of a felony

Individuals under the age of 18 are not prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law but they may face restrictions, such as needing parental consent or not being able to purchase certain types of firearms. This is because federal law allows for certain exceptions for minors, such as the right to possess a firearm for hunting or sporting purposes. Individuals who have never received firearms training are not specifically prohibited by federal law, but they may face restrictions or limitations based on state or local laws. Similarly, individuals with a hunting license are not automatically prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law, but they may face certain restrictions depending on the state and type of license. The correct answer is B because individuals convicted of a felony are specifically prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law. This prohibition is meant to prevent those who have been convicted of serious crimes from obtaining a firearm and potentially causing harm to themselves or others.
