Civil disobedience only works if you are dealing with an Authority that has a conscience and is not willing to murder large numbers of people. You also have to have a sympathetic media on your side. The MSM would applaud DC coming down hard on “Gun Nut Protesters” to prevent “Anarchy”.
Civil disobedience never worked in Saddam's Iraq, and I doubt if it would work in DC.
Civil disobedience works if everyone is armed with a weapon that can kill a cop.
10,000 handgunners. You think DC cops would get mixed up in THAT?
I agree, see my post #13...

Civil disobedience worked in our early republic, and it would work in DC. -- The key is using civil, constitutional means to disobey, -- only a few dozen DC vets refusing to comply with 'laws' that prohibit their service handguns could turn the trick.
