According to a new report, the process to obtain a concealed carry permit and register firearms has been streamlined. The time required for both processes has shrunk from months to a mere days.

The concealed carry permitting process and firearm registration process in the deep blue city have been slashed from months down to days via Trump’s Making DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force, which was established via an executive order in March to revitalize the nation’s capital. The working group’s work to clean up the city did not include changing local gun laws, but instead streamlines the city’s already established process, so law-abiding residents can more easily navigate the firearms system.

“President Trump is not only stopping violent crime in Washington, D.C., he is also streamlining the permitting process for law-abiding residents who want the ability to protect themselves and their families,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital. “The Making DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force has been working with local officials to eliminate longstanding obstacles and successfully reduced the average permit processing time from several months to just five days.”

Under the task force’s efforts, locals are able to book next-day appointments to register their firearms with the Metropolitan Police Department, while walk-in appointments are now available and advertised on the police department’s website.

Previously, applicants typically waited four months for a firearms registration appointment, a White House official told Fox Digital.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced on Monday that he is taking federal control over Washington, DC’s Metropolitan Police Department and authorizing the use of national guard troops to solve the “public safety emergency” in the nation’s capital.

Trump also called on Republicans in Congress to change the statutes to get rid of “no cash bail” and “some of the other things” that empower criminals in DC and other major cities across the nation.

“This is Liberation Day in DC, and we’re going to take our capital back,” he said.

Hundreds of National Guard troops and federal agents are being positioned throughout the capital to patrol the streets and arrest criminals and illegal aliens.

Federal officials are also enforcing Trump's March Make DC Safe and Beautiful executive order and bulldozing homeless encampments across the city.

In addition to the massive amount of violent crime across the city, President Trump decided to deploy the National Guard and federalize DC after DOGE worker Edward Coristine, AKA “Big Balls” was severely beaten by eight black thugs.
