D.C. Has very strict rules on fire arms and does not allow them, which makes self protection impossible. By doing this, the government has guaranteed your safety and by them not protecting you, is in violation of the social contract.

I wonder if there's a legal loophole somewhere to give liability to those who disarm you.

Firearms are neither the beginning nor end of self defense. Don't allow them to become such a crutch that you're at a loss for options in a scenario like DC

For many, they are the only option. Women and the disabled cannot defend themselves against a male attacker in most situations. They're not a crutch, but often the right tool for the job.
