Federal Weapons Penalties

Additionally, there are certain classifications of weapons for which ownership is strictly controlled by the Federal Government. Examples of these types of weapons include machine guns and sawed-off rifles. Unlawful possession of such weapons can land a perpetrator in prison for up to 10 years.
