Who is not allowed to possess a firearm in Iowa?

  1. People convicted of a felony

  2. Non-U.S. citizens

  3. People under the age of 21

  4. People with a hunting license

The correct answer is: People convicted of a felony

In Iowa, people who have been convicted of a felony are not allowed to possess a firearm. This is because having a felony on their record indicates that they have committed a serious crime and may not be fit to safely handle a firearm. The other options listed are incorrect because they are not specified as restrictions for possessing a firearm in Iowa. While it is true that non-U.S. citizens and people under the age of 21 may have restrictions on purchasing or owning a firearm, it is not explicitly stated that they are not allowed to possess one in Iowa. Additionally, having a hunting license does not guarantee the legal possession of a firearm, as other factors such as criminal history and mental health status may also be taken into consideration.
