Which of the following best describes the requirement for owning a suppressor in D.C.?

Completely banned
Allowed with special permits
Allowed for law enforcement only
No regulations

The correct answer is: Completely banned

Owning a suppressor, also known as a silencer, for firearms in Washington D.C. is completely banned. This means that no private citizens are allowed to own or possess a suppressor. Option B is incorrect because special permits do not allow for ownership, and option C is incorrect because law enforcement cannot even own suppressors in D.C. Option D is also incorrect because there are regulations in place prohibiting ownership of suppressors.
