The citizens need to amend the state constitution to include protection of their gun rights.
Are there enough conservatives left in California to do that? The left applauds losing our guns. Stupid idiots.
The second ammendment does. Until CA secedes from the Union they'll have to abide by our Constitution.
The up-coming D.C. case will clinch it. Certain things require a national precedent and self defense via individual ownership of arms is one of them. (Abortion is not, but let's not go there).
Some of us are working on it. But the pre-existing right to keep and bear arms, protected by the Second Amendment is a right of the people of Kalifornia as well. It's just not recognized by the government. But surely YOU recognize it.
Also, the Constitution of Kalifornia does contain the following:
"All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy."
To suggest that one has a right to "defend life and liberty" and "protect property" and "obtain safety" without the use of guns is equivalent to suggesting that one can "keep and bear arms" without being able to keep and bear handguns.
That virtually every law-enforcement officer in the state carries a handgun is all the proof any court should need that the defense of life requires that one have access to handguns.
