Which firearms are banned from transfer, sale, or purchase within Connecticut?

  1. All semi-automatic firearms

  2. Specifically named assault weapons

  3. All handguns

  4. All rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Specifically named assault weapons

Specifically named assault weapons are banned from transfer, sale, or purchase within Connecticut. Connecticut has a list of specific firearms that are classified as assault weapons and are prohibited from being transferred, sold, or purchased in the state. This includes certain semi-automatic firearms with specific features such as folding or telescoping stocks, flash suppressors, and grenade launchers. These firearms are banned to promote public safety and reduce gun violence. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect Connecticut's gun laws. Not all semi-automatic firearms, handguns, rifles, or shotguns are banned from transfer, sale, or purchase within the state. It is important for firearms owners and potential buyers in Connecticut to be aware of the specific regulations regarding assault weapons to ensure compliance with the law.
