I would hope not, yet I really never hear of any challenges against a law's constitutionality unless someone was "harmed" by it. The "harm" lends weight to the challenge, yet with 2A cases, the jurists seem to respond as if an evil person is trying to get out of being punished.
Your sentence structure is strange. I am telling you there are 2 ways how you can challenge validity of a law: appeal a conviction, or file civil a complaint. It is indeed good to be able to show damages in certain cases, but it's not always necessary. In any case, you can see the list of 2A-related federal challenges here <broken link removed> , and note how many of them are not criminal cases.
