Are assault weapons banned in South Dakota?

  1. Yes, they are completely banned

  2. Yes, but only for those under 21

  3. No, there is no ban on assault weapons

  4. No, but registration is required

The correct answer is: No, there is no ban on assault weapons

Some may think that the other options are incorrect because they may have heard about the federal Assault Weapons Ban, which expired in 2004. However, some states, such as California and Connecticut, have enacted their own bans on certain assault weapons. South Dakota, however, does not have any state-level bans on assault weapons. Additionally, while registration of guns is not required in the state, it is required for concealed carry permits.
