What type of firearms are prohibited from being owned in Arkansas?

Semi-automatic weapons
Handguns with a magazine capacity over 10 rounds
Machine guns without proper authorization
Firearms not detectable by metal detectors

The correct answer is: Firearms not detectable by metal detectors

The correct answer relates to firearms that are not detectable by metal detectors. In Arkansas, certain regulations are in place concerning the ownership of firearms that could pose security risks, such as undetectable firearms. Such weapons could potentially be used to bypass security measures, posing a significant threat to public safety. The other options involve firearms that are commonly owned and regulated under specific conditions, rather than being outright prohibited. For instance, semi-automatic weapons are generally legal, as are handguns with higher magazine capacities, as long as they are compliant with broader state and federal laws. On the other hand, while machine guns do require proper authorization for ownership, they are not categorically prohibited as long as the owner adheres to the necessary legal requirements and regulations.
