What can be a consequence of making an illegal firearm purchase?

  1. Only a fine

  2. Public service requirement

  3. Imprisonment and a fine

  4. Community outreach program participation

The correct answer is: Imprisonment and a fine

Making an illegal firearm purchase can lead to severe legal consequences, one of which includes both imprisonment and a fine. This reflects the seriousness with which the law treats violations related to firearms. The laws surrounding firearms are designed to ensure public safety, and illegal purchases can pose significant risks. Therefore, when someone is caught making such a purchase, they may face incarceration as a punitive measure, alongside financial penalties designed to deter future violations and hold the offender accountable for their actions. This approach underscores the importance of adhering to firearm laws and regulations to promote responsible ownership and use.
