Which of the following individuals is prohibited from possessing a firearm in Nebraska?

A person convicted of a felony
A person who has never served in the military
A person under the age of 18
Non-resident aliens

The correct answer is: A person convicted of a felony

In Nebraska, individuals who have been convicted of a felony are prohibited from possessing a firearm. This regulation is in place to ensure public safety and prevent individuals who have demonstrated a disregard for the law from having access to firearms. The rationale behind this law is that felons, due to their prior convictions, may pose a greater risk of engaging in violent or unlawful behavior if they have access to firearms. While there are age restrictions regarding firearm possession, such as individuals under the age of 18, or regulations concerning non-resident aliens, these groups are not outright prohibited from firearm ownership in the same way a convicted felon is. Moreover, the military service status does not inherently affect firearm possession rights in Nebraska. Thus, the prohibition specifically targeted at felons highlights the state’s focus on maintaining safety by limiting firearm access to individuals with a serious criminal background.
