Which of the following firearms does Rhode Island law specifically prohibit?

  1. Semi-automatic rifles

  2. Sawed-off shotguns

  3. Handguns with a magazine capacity over 10 rounds

  4. Bolt-action rifles

The correct answer is: Sawed-off shotguns

Rhode Island law specifically prohibits sawed-off shotguns because they are considered illegal under state law. Sawed-off shotguns are firearms with shortened barrels, making them easier to conceal and potentially more dangerous. This prohibition aims to regulate and reduce the likelihood of criminal activities involving such firearms.
