Which of the following firearms is regulated by the Maryland Handgun Roster?

Shotguns
Rifles
Handguns
Air rifles

The correct answer is: Handguns

The correct answer is handguns because the Maryland Handgun Roster specifically regulates the sale of handguns in the state. This roster lists all handguns that have been approved for sale, ensuring they meet the safety standards set by Maryland law. The purpose of this regulation is to limit the types of handguns that can be sold to the public, thereby enhancing overall public safety. Shotguns and rifles, while still regulated under different laws, do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Handgun Roster. Instead, they are subject to their own regulatory frameworks that pertain to long guns. Air rifles, which are often used for target practice or small game hunting, are also not included in the Handgun Roster and are generally subjected to much less stringent regulations than traditional firearms.
