Methodology
The word “banned,” as used in this article, relates to firearms, parts, and ammunition that may not be sold, manufactured, or possessed within a jurisdiction or territory. Exceptions do apply in most instances, although the average American citizen does not immediately qualify for an exemption on possession.
Federal firearm laws apply to all 50 states. Each state has its own laws prohibiting the possession or manufacture of certain firearms, ammunition, or parts. Although federal laws apply to all 50 states, some states have their own separate statutes to ensure that prosecution can occur at the state level.
All information in this article was acquired from state statutes, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and updated legal documents.
