I live in DC. I demand my constitutional rights to self-defense under the Second Amendment! I’m thinking of a civil rights lawsuit against the mayor and city council. Thoughts?
Are you legally blind?
You could well win.
If literacy tests cannot be required for voting, they shouldn't be allowed as a requirement for any other constitutional right.
However, to have any chance of success, the lawsuit needs to be filed by a liberal-recognized minority protected class. Do you know of a blind, black lesbian who would be willing to serve as class plaintiff?
Letters too the editors, snail mail and e-mail, freedom of information act as too how much money your DC polidiots cost the tax payers for their personal protection. Check on local laws that allow or have allowed polidiots too pack a firearm for personal protection and not common citizens.
Go after ALL the details you can obtain and then take the time too run for office where you can make a difference if at all possible !
Maybe other pro 2nd activists can add more........
Go for it!
Since you DO live in DC you can make a ton of easy money by getting an '01 FFL' and becoming the only one willing to do Legal Transfers and req'd Background Checks within the District. Just guessing, but your upfront costs may run about $1K for BATF fees and DC permits but that would be recouped pdq at $30-$40 per transfer, or higher if you want since you'd be the sole source of legal handguns in DC (In IL $30 to $40 is the average transfer fee).
IIRC there are currently only four Class 01 FFLs in DC and none will do transfers. One FFL holder is an exec. at the Violence Policy Center (that's a laugher) who got it for "research". That is against BATF regulations and as such, the law. But they'll be busted like ... never.
