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

  1. Yes, always

  2. No

  3. Only for sales of handguns

  4. Only at gun shows

The correct answer is: Yes, always

In Washington, D.C., background checks are required for all private gun sales, not just for certain types of firearms or at specific locations such as gun shows. This comprehensive approach aims to promote public safety by ensuring that individuals seeking to obtain firearms undergo background checks to prevent those who are prohibited by law from owning a gun from gaining access to them. Therefore, option A - "Yes, always" is the correct answer.
