Is a background check required for private gun sales in Nebraska?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. Yes, but only for handguns

  3. No, it is not required

  4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for handguns

In Nebraska, a background check is required for all gun purchases from licensed dealers, including private sales. However, private sales of rifles and shotguns do not require a background check, while private sales of handguns do. This makes option B the correct answer, as it specifies that the background check is only required for handguns which aligns with state laws. Options A and D are incorrect because they either state that all firearms require a background check or that it is only required at gun shows, which does not accurately reflect the laws in Nebraska. Option C is also incorrect as it states that no background check is required, which is not true for handgun purchases.
