Alright, I apologize if I'm pushing into Doomer territory here, but the whole "antique guns only" thing sounds like it may be a trap -- such weapons could very well give them an excuse for the use of lethal force, without giving us any real chance of victory in such a confrontation.
If it's not too late, I would STRONGLY suggest that as many of you as possible get MODERN firearms there; I'm sure there's a legal way to do it (maybe transporting them disassembled?). Note that you should NOT violate any laws, especially not openly, unless you are surrounded by many other pedes doing the same -- don't give them an excuse to make an example out of you. Also, remember that we aren't a lawless mob; we're there to UPHOLD the law: the Supreme Law of the Land, which many in our government seem to have forgotten.
As has been pointed out before, if they don't fear us, they can simply ignore us; just be careful to make them fear your POTENTIAL for violence, rather than feeling that you represent an INEVITABLE threat. A potential threat should be handled carefully and perhaps reasoned with, while an inevitable threat is an excuse for preemptive violence.
This is our last chance to save America, DO NOT let the light of hope fizzle and die simply because we were manipulated into not fighting hard enough.
It sounds like you know more about gun laws than I do, so your input is appreciated. Still, I'm pretty sure that transporting a disassembled weapon is safer than an assembled one, both due to it being easier to conceal and presumably lesser consequences for getting caught with it.
It would be much more difficult to sway a jury against someone who was carrying a disassembled firearm than one who was carrying a fully assembled one, and I'm sure the authorities know that. While most criminal cases are resolved through plea bargaining, rather than actually going before a jury, the outcomes of those plea bargains are largely determined by how the involved parties think a jury would rule on the case -- and it would be far easier to convince a jury to convict someone for bringing a fully functional weapon into D.C. than for carrying the parts to a weapon that they may or may not have had any intention of assembling.
Sure, they might still ARREST you for carrying that disassembled weapon, but I find it hard to imagine that they would be able to spare the resources necessary to prosecute thousands of such cases (not to mention the difficulty of detaining / moving such individuals). So, either you get your disassembled weapon in with you, or the cops have to waste massive amounts of time searching hundreds of thousands (or even millions!) of people for relatively-easily-concealed PARTS of weapons, just so that they can temporarily detain those people and release them later without charges (and without their weapons, I'd guess, which DOES suck).
Feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt, though; I'm just a law student, not an actual lawyer. If you're planning to wager your freedom by bringing a "modern" firearm into D.C., you may want to consult a lawyer first (or a kindly lawyer pede could help us out here!).
