An illegal firearm purchase can result in what penalties?

Only a fine
Only community service
Imprisonment and a fine
No penalties

The correct answer is: Imprisonment and a fine

An illegal firearm purchase is a serious crime that can have severe consequences. It is not just a minor offense that can result in a simple fine or community service. Since it involves the unlawful possession of a deadly weapon, imprisonment and a fine are common penalties for those who are caught. Buying a firearm illegally puts individuals and the public at risk, so the penalties are meant to deter such activity and ensure the safety of society. Therefore, both options A and B are incorrect as they do not adequately reflect the severity of the situation. Option D is also incorrect as it is unrealistic to think that such a serious crime would have no penalties at all.
