Who is responsible for enforcing firearm regulations in Washington D.C.?

  1. Metropolitan Police Department

  2. Federal Firearms Bureau

  3. U.S. Secret Service

  4. Department of Homeland Security

The correct answer is: Metropolitan Police Department

The Metropolitan Police Department is the correct answer because they are the primary law enforcement agency responsible for enforcing firearm regulations in Washington D.C. The Federal Firearms Bureau, while a federal agency, is responsible for enforcing federal firearms regulations, not those specific to D.C. The U.S. Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security also play roles in enforcing certain firearm regulations, but they do not have the primary responsibility for doing so in D.C.
