Which of the following firearms is illegal to possess in Vermont?

Fully automatic firearms
Semi-automatic rifles
Pump-action shotguns
None of the above

The correct answer is: Fully automatic firearms

Fully automatic firearms are illegal to possess in Vermont because they are classified as machine guns according to state law. Possession of machine guns is prohibited without a special permit or license. This is because fully automatic firearms have the capability to fire multiple rounds continuously with one trigger pull, making them a greater threat to safety than other types of firearms. Option B and C are incorrect because semi-automatic rifles and pump-action shotguns are legal to possess in Vermont. Although they may have a similar appearance to a fully automatic firearm, these types are operated differently and do not have the same rapid fire capabilities. Option D is incorrect because, as stated before, possession of fully automatic firearms is prohibited in Vermont.
