Are background checks required for private gun sales in DC?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No, never

  3. Only for handguns

  4. Only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Yes, always

In Washington, DC, background checks are required for all gun sales, including private sales. This is a crucial aspect of ensuring that firearms do not end up in the hands of individuals who are prohibited by law from owning them, such as convicted felons, domestic abusers, or individuals with a history of mental illness. By mandating background checks for all gun sales, the District of Columbia aims to promote public safety and prevent gun violence.
