The offense of firearms trafficking does not apply to:

The correct response indicates that firearms trafficking offenses do not apply to all the listed groups. Individuals exempt under the Firearm Owners ID Card Act, for example, possess the necessary credentials and permissions to legally own or transport firearms without falling under the scrutiny of trafficking laws. Likewise, common carriers who are exempted by the Criminal Code of 2012 are allowed to transport firearms under specific regulations, which means they also do not constitute trafficking in illegal firearms. Finally, non-residents who lawfully possess weapons in their home state are protected by law in their respective states, allowing them to possess their firearms without it being classified as trafficking when they cross state lines, provided they're compliant with both state laws. Thus, all these categories reflect individuals or entities that are lawful and exempt from the charges associated with firearms trafficking, reinforcing why the correct answer encompasses all of them.
