Is it legal to possess a machine gun in Alaska?

  1. No

  2. Yes, with a special permit

  3. Yes, if manufactured before 1986

  4. Yes, for everyone

The correct answer is: Yes, with a special permit

In Alaska, it is legal to possess a machine gun with a special permit. The National Firearms Act (NFA) regulates the possession of machine guns, and individuals can acquire them by going through a detailed application process that includes a background check, fingerprints, payment of a tax, and approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). It is essential to note that owning a machine gun without the necessary permit is illegal at both the federal and state levels. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the specific legal requirements for possessing a machine gun in Alaska.
