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 socialistic concept that the California State Constitution does not protect the right of its citizens to keep and bear arms is often floated on FR .
It is said that short of total disarmament (which would violate the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8) the California state legislature can pretty much do what they want with the gun laws in that state, using the erroneous theory that 'majority rule' can trump our Law of the Land.

Citizens of California do not need to amend their state constitution to protect their gun rights. They need to petition the Congressional, Executive and Judicial branch officials of both Fed and State governments to enforce the 2nd, just as they are bound by Article VI.

Are there enough conservatives left in California to do that? The left applauds losing our guns. Stupid idiots.

Careful on what you call them. -- There are many here that applaud the so-called 'right' of a gov't [fed/state/local] to deprive individuals certain aspects of life, liberty, or property.
If Legislators or the Courts decide certain types of guns/drugs/behaviors are 'harmful', they ciaim a power to prohibit them.

Fancy that..
