Federal Gun Laws & Regulations

While it is true that each state has some ability to create its own gun laws, each is still subject to federal statutes. Indeed, it is when these federal laws are allegedly broken that the stakes of a subsequent criminal defense case and trial are raised significantly. To improve your chances of defending yourself against the prosecution, you will need to understand some of the basics about federal gun laws.

Some firearms and accessories that are banned or limited due to federal restrictions include:

• Short-barrel shotguns
• Machine guns
• Most assault rifles
• Silencers

Federal laws may also prohibit you from owning a gun if any of the following circumstances apply to you:

• Convicted of a felony or violent crime
• Currently a fugitive
• Addicted to an illegal narcotic
• Committed to mental institution
• Illegal immigrant status
• Dishonorably discharged from the military
