Which firearm is classified as illegal to possess in DC?

Handguns
Sawed-off shotguns
Semi-automatic rifles
All of the above

The correct answer is: Sawed-off shotguns

Sawed-off shotguns are classified as illegal to possess in Washington, DC. This is due to the fact that sawed-off shotguns are considered dangerous and have a high potential for misuse in criminal activities. The other options, handguns and semi-automatic rifles, are not classified as illegal to possess in DC as long as they are owned and used in accordance with the city's firearms regulations.
