Is it legal to modify a firearm to increase its rate of fire in Iowa?

Yes, without any restrictions
Yes, but you must register the modification
No, it is illegal
Only for certain types of firearms

The correct answer is: No, it is illegal

Modifying a firearm to increase its rate of fire is illegal in Iowa, as it often involves creating a machine gun or similar device, which is strictly regulated at both the state and federal levels. Under the National Firearms Act, machine guns are prohibited unless they are registered and regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Iowa state law aligns with this, emphasizing the prohibition of such modifications to ensure public safety and compliance with federal firearms regulations. Therefore, the correct choice reflects the stringent legal framework surrounding firearm modifications in Iowa.
