Can a person convicted of a felony own a firearm in D.C.?

  1. Yes, if the felony was non-violent

  2. No, under any circumstances

  3. Yes, after a 10-year period

  4. Yes, but only shotguns and rifles

The correct answer is: No, under any circumstances

In Washington, D.C., a person convicted of a felony is generally not allowed to own a firearm under any circumstances. This is due to federal and local laws that restrict firearm possession by individuals with felony convictions. These laws aim to prevent those with criminal records from possessing firearms for public safety reasons.
