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

Criminal only
Mental health only
Both criminal and mental health
No background check is required

The correct answer is: Both criminal and mental health

In Washington D.C., both criminal and mental health background checks are required for firearm registration. This is an important measure to ensure the safety of the community and to prevent individuals who pose a risk to themselves or others from obtaining firearms legally. By conducting both types of background checks, authorities can better assess an individual's suitability to own a firearm and reduce the potential for gun violence or accidents.
