I don't think that answers the question. It seems to me, the Cali supreme court must judge Cali law based on Cali laws. If it is in fact in violation of a federal law, that is for a federal court to decide, is it not? Where is Cali in violation of federal law?

Art VI certainly answers the question of whether a CA judge can ignore the 2nd Amendment in ruling on a State law that infringes upon it.
The answer is no.

It seems to me, the Cali supreme court must judge Cali law based on Cali laws.

Read Art VI again. It clearly says that: "Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any state to the Contrary notwithstanding."

If it is in fact in violation of a federal law, that is for a federal court to decide, is it not?

ALL officials are bound by oath to support the Constitution. To date, the USSC has refused to hear the issue.

Where is Cali in violation of federal law?

CA has banned many so called "assault weapons", in direct violation of the 2nd Amendment.
