Yes, without restrictions
Yes, but with a special permit
No, they are banned
Only for law enforcement officers

The correct answer is: No, they are banned

Option A is incorrect as there are restrictions on owning assault weapons in Washington D.C. Option B is incorrect as there is no special permit available for owning assault weapons. Option D is incorrect as even law enforcement officers are only allowed to carry a specified type of firearm while on duty in the district.
