Which of these firearms is illegal to possess in New Mexico?

  1. Fully automatic firearms without a federal license

  2. Shotguns with a barrel length shorter than 18 inches

  3. Rifles with a barrel length shorter than 16 inches

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

Many states have restrictions on the possession of certain firearms, and New Mexico is no different. In this case, the correct answer is D, "all of the above." This means that all of the options listed (A, B, and C) are illegal to possess in New Mexico. Option A refers to fully automatic firearms, which are weapons that can continuously fire multiple rounds with a single pull of the trigger. In order to legally possess these in New Mexico, you would need a federal license. Option B mentions shotguns with a barrel length shorter than 18 inches. According to New Mexico law, shotguns with barrels shorter than this length are considered "sawed-off" shotguns and are generally illegal to possess. Similarly, Option C mentions rifles with a barrel length shorter than 16 inches. These types of rifles, also known as "short-barreled rifles," are also illegal to possess in New Mexico. In summary, all of the options listed are illegal to possess in New Mexico without the necessary licenses or permits. It is important to familiarize yourself with your state's laws and regulations regarding firearms ownership.
