Yes, they MAY appeal to the second amendment. And the U.S. Supreme Court MAY overturn it. Then again, some future liberal U.S. Supreme Court may NOT overturn it.

But nowhere does the author say that California cannot do it.

I was right. And as House would say, "Now there were three wasted words".

Your mind is playing strange tricks on you if you think the quote above backs your position here:

Ready for the big one? California can ban all guns if they so chose. There's nothing in the state constitution (one of six states, I believe) about the right to keep and bear arms.

Thanks for conceding Rawles point. You admit you were wrong.

Then again, some future liberal U.S. Supreme Court may NOT overturn it.

Quibble if you must. --- The point is bob, that our Constitution says that CA cannot 'do it'.

I was right.

No, you are factually/constitutionally wrong, and you imagine your opinions can make you right. Our constitution overrules you.
