Are residents of Nebraska allowed to own NFA (National Firearms Act) items?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, but with certain restrictions
No
Only with special permission from local law enforcement

The correct answer is: Yes, but with certain restrictions

In Nebraska, residents are indeed allowed to own National Firearms Act (NFA) items, but this ownership comes with specific requirements and restrictions. NFA items include items such as suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and machine guns, all of which are subject to federal law. To legally own these items, individuals must go through a process that includes submitting a Form 4 application to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), paying a tax, and undergoing a background check. The state does not impose additional restrictions beyond those set out by federal law, but ownership of NFA items means adhering strictly to the regulatory requirements that accompany these firearms. This includes proper registration and paying the necessary taxes. Therefore, the answer acknowledges that while residents can own NFA items, there are specified regulations and a formal process that must be followed.
