Under West Virginia law, which of the following firearms is prohibited?

  1. Semi-automatic rifles

  2. Automatic rifles

  3. Handguns with a magazine capacity over 10 rounds

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: None of the above

In West Virginia, firearms laws do not prohibit semi-automatic rifles, automatic rifles, or handguns with a magazine capacity over 10 rounds. Automatic rifles are heavily regulated at the federal level, and while state-specific regulations do exist, West Virginia law does not impose a blanket ban on this category. Similarly, semi-automatic rifles are permissible under state law. Handguns with magazine capacities exceeding 10 rounds are also legal, reflecting a more lenient stance on firearm magazine restrictions compared to some other states. As such, the correct choice indicates that none of the firearms listed in the options are prohibited under West Virginia law.
