Are background checks required for private gun sales in D.C.?

  1. No, not required

  2. Yes, for handguns only

  3. Yes, for all firearm sales

  4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearm sales

In Washington D.C., background checks are required for all firearm sales, whether they are conducted by licensed dealers or private sellers. This measure is in place to help ensure that individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms, such as those with a history of violent crime or mental illness, do not obtain them illegally. Background checks are a crucial component of firearms safety and regulation in order to prevent potentially dangerous individuals from acquiring firearms.
