The DC Police Department is under scrutiny from the ATF due to a high number of firearms they transferred being recovered at crime scenes. This situation arose after DC's last gun store closed in 2020, forcing the police to handle firearm transfers. The ATF's 'Demand to Program' letter flags Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) with over 25 firearms traced to crime scenes within three years of sale.
