The home of tyranny doesn’t want the threat.
File a lawsuit against the police for contempt of court.
And that is not an exaggeration.
Out of control government is out of control.
The names of these bureaucrats should be scribed for future posterity.
‘When Watkins called the attorney general’s office to question why his application was denied, he was instructed to submit any complaints online.’
That says it all...we dont want to hear from you. Submit your complaint online so it can be more easily ignored. We dont have time to talk to peons.
Notice LE is playing dumb and following (illegal) orders. This should come down on their heads as well as the AGs.
Congress shall have the power...To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States.

Here is your violation. I present to You:
It says: Any Two or More Persons - who conspire to deprive a citizen of a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution (like the 2nd Amendment in the Bill of Rights), may be held personally responsible for damages. If these public officials conspire to injure, oppress, threaten or intimidate ANY PERSON in ANY STATE, Territory or District in the free exercise of any Right secured to him by the Constitution of the United States, that public servant(s) can be found guilty, and can be punished by up to 10 years in jail.
DO IT.... It my provide the jolt necessary for the rest of the country to follow suit.
Contempt of Court citation and a visit from the US Marshall’s office coming?
Don’t need a lawsuit; the judge can issue the citation and an arrest warrant unilaterally.
Laws only apply to those outside “The Beltway”
