Which of these firearms does South Dakota classify as prohibited for possession?

  1. Semi-automatic rifles

  2. Fully automatic firearms without proper federal licensing

  3. Handguns with a barrel length less than 5 inches

  4. Rifles with a magazine capacity of more than 10 rounds

The correct answer is: Fully automatic firearms without proper federal licensing

South Dakota classifies fully automatic firearms without proper federal licensing as prohibited for possession. This means that individuals in South Dakota are not allowed to own these types of firearms unless they have the proper federal license. Semi-automatic rifles, handguns with a barrel length less than 5 inches, and rifles with a magazine capacity of more than 10 rounds are not explicitly prohibited for possession in South Dakota, but there may be other regulations and restrictions on these types of firearms. Therefore, it is important for individuals to research and understand all applicable laws and regulations regarding firearm possession in South Dakota.
