Which of the following individuals is prohibited from acquiring or possessing firearms under Iowa law?

  1. Individuals convicted of a felony

  2. Non-citizens

  3. Individuals without a driver's license

  4. Individuals under 18 without direct supervision

The correct answer is: Individuals convicted of a felony

In Iowa, individuals who have been convicted of a felony are prohibited from acquiring or possessing firearms. This is because these individuals are considered to have a higher risk of committing future crimes involving firearms. Non-citizens and individuals under 18 without direct supervision are also prohibited from acquiring or possessing firearms, but they are not the only groups barred from doing so. In addition, having or not having a driver's license does not determine a person's eligibility to acquire or possess a firearm in Iowa. Therefore, the correct answer is A individuals convicted of a felony.
