Are private firearms sales regulated in Iowa?

Yes, all sales require a background check
No, private sales are not regulated
Yes, but only for handguns
Yes, but only for assault weapons

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for handguns

In Iowa, private firearm sales, which occur between two individuals rather than through a licensed dealer, are only regulated for handguns. This means that people selling or buying firearms other than handguns, such as rifles or shotguns, are not required to go through a background check. Option A is incorrect because all private sales in Iowa do not require a background check. Options B and D are also incorrect because they suggest that private sales are not regulated at all, which is not true.
