What type of background check is required for firearm registration in DC?

FBI fingerprint background check
Local police background check
Both A and B
No background check is required

The correct answer is: Both A and B

In Washington, DC, both an FBI fingerprint background check and a local police background check are required for firearm registration. This thorough screening process aims to ensure that individuals seeking to register a firearm do not have a criminal record or pose a risk to public safety. By conducting both types of background checks, the authorities can obtain a comprehensive overview of an individual's background before allowing them to register a firearm. This dual background check requirement emphasizes the importance of security and safety in firearm ownership in the District of Columbia.
