More bullshit fabricated stats. Like there's any way in Hell that anyone can determine who owns what or how many.

Federal agencies are not actually required to register their NFA firearms, but the stuff not specifically produced for military contracts generally is on the registry, because it was created by FFL/SOT manufacturers who register everything they make or import, so that if need be, it can be sold to non-federal LE, or into private channels, if allowed.
Therefore, most of what even federal agencies other than the military possess was acquired through commercial channels, so has likely been registered on the NFRTR, even though all such transactions for government entities of any level are tax-free.
DC has more non-military federal agencies than just about anywhere else on the planet, so of course the NFRTR is chock-full of entries home-based in DC. I'm just surprised they're using the 700k population figure of DC proper for their per-capita measurements, versus the DC metro number, which is much larger.
