Are automatic weapons legal in South Dakota?

Yes, without restrictions
No
Yes, with a federal license
Yes, but only for law enforcement

The correct answer is: Yes, with a federal license

Automatic weapons are generally legal in South Dakota, as long as the individual has obtained the required federal license. Under federal law, individuals who wish to own automatic weapons must apply for and receive a special license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This licensing process involves thorough background checks and adherence to strict regulations. This means that while automatic weapons are not completely banned in South Dakota, owning one requires a federal license.
