What constitutes a valid reason for the denial of a firearm registration application in DC?

Previous felony conviction
Lack of a hunting license
Not owning a safe
All of the above

The correct answer is: Previous felony conviction

A valid reason for the denial of a firearm registration application in DC includes a previous felony conviction. This is because individuals with felony convictions are prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law. Therefore, it is crucial for authorities to deny firearm registration applications from individuals with a history of felony convictions to ensure public safety and compliance with the law. Options B and C are incorrect because the lack of a hunting license or not owning a safe are not valid reasons for the denial of a firearm registration application in DC. While owning a safe and having a hunting license may be responsible practices for gun owners, they are not legal requirements for firearm registration in the District of Columbia.
