This video discusses a scandal involving the DC Police Department being implicated in the sale of crime guns. The Brady United Against Gun Violence organization uncovered that the MPD was placed on the ATF's Demand Letter 2 program due to dozens of guns traced from crime scenes in 2021 being linked to their firearm dealings. The 'time to crime' for these guns was significantly shorter than the national average, raising concerns about the department's role in facilitating the flow of firearms that end up used in criminal activity, despite their role in gun control advocacy.

This video from Guns & Gadgets critically analyzes Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's order prohibiting firearms within 1000 feet of signs related to the January 6th rally.

This video discusses a significant change in Washington D.C.'s firearms acquisition process following the closure of the district's sole Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), Charles Sykes. The Mayor's office has designated the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) as the interim FFL to prevent a complete halt in gun purchases for D.C. residents, who previously had to use Sykes' services at a high transfer fee. The MPD will now oversee firearm transfers, requiring approval and registration before residents can pick up firearms purchased out-of-state.
