If I used the gun for self-defense and was charged by the city for violating their new gun laws, I would win the court case.

If it didn't bankrupt you first.

A fundamental problem in our society is the oft-unstated assumption that justice is frictionless: i.e., quick, impartial, affordable. In fact, the best way to screw up society is to fund special interest legal groups, or to co-opt the state's legal process, so that unfair legal power is arrayed against the individual. That's a big part of the liberal, environmental, and CAIR playbook.

I'll anticipate the next question. Do conservatives ever abuse the courts? Of course they do, although more commonly against institutions and government (think of the endless wrangling on both sides about evolution). Misuse of the legal system (and politicization of same) gums up the regulation of society big-time.

Rant mode off. I'd do the same as you.

Ditto. Isn’t it the case that right now, D.C. has no gun registration law? Wasn’t it struck down?

I guess I’d try to register my gun, and if they blocked me some way I’d say screw it, take it home, and keep it anyway. Maybe sooner or later there’ll need to be a new class action suit against these thugs.
