What type of firearm does Mississippi law specifically prohibit from ownership?

Semi-automatic weapons
Machine guns without proper federal licensing
Handguns
None of the above

The correct answer is: Machine guns without proper federal licensing

Mississippi law specifically prohibits the ownership of machine guns without proper federal licensing. This is due to the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986, which heavily regulates the ownership and transfer of fully automatic firearms, often referred to as machine guns. Therefore, owning a machine gun in Mississippi without the required federal licensing would be in violation of state law. The other options, such as semi-automatic weapons and handguns, are not specifically prohibited under Mississippi law, making them legal to own under certain circumstances.
