“What about civil disobediance? What if 10,000 people bought handguns in DC and openy refused to comply with their unlawful regulations? You think that might clog up their court system?”

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?

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.
