There are powerful remedies for this garbage that strike directly at the heart of the Democratic Party.
The Second Amendment is self-binding to California by its own terms, and in addition is further bound to California (and its government) by the 14th Amendment.
Re-read the 14th: Any State found guilty of depriving its Citizens of their rights, privileges, and immunities under the Constitution and Bill of Rights is subject to having its delegation to the United States House of Representatives reduced in the same proportion as that of its Citizens whose rights have been denied.
And who is the judge of whether California has transgressed its obligations under the 14th Amendment, and of the remedy?
The House itself. Meaning, the Republican caucus of the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Boehner.
If California has just stripped 100% of its Citizens of an important right, then the House can refuse to seat the entire California delegation and send them all home.
Think about it. Re-read the 14th and see if the power isn't there. It is.
Whoa! I like the way you think. But the chance that Boehner would do anything so dramatic to force the issue to national attention is infinitesimally small.
Do you honestly think the Weeping Willow of the GOP will have the stones to not seat the California delegation?
You are dreaming.

I’ll believe it when I see it.
California was past the tipping point when they after SKS rifles ten years ago or so.
People will put up with anything as long as it doesn’t impact their comfort zone.
We’ll see how many Patriots stand up; who’s willing to get arrested and make a public example in court?
How’s this: Try to organize get ONE THOUSANDS gunnies together in the street, all OPEN CARRYING. Challenge the law, and let’s see if they try to arrest a thousand people.
Make sure there are plenty of cameras rolling, so the mediots can’t cover it up.
Good luck. You’ll be lucky if you get twenty to show up.
With Boehner???? Are you kidding? They can’t even bring themselves to stand up and turn their backs on this fraud potus. You really expect them to do something that requires testicular fortitude?
How about trying to get the NRA to help organize a thousand-man gathering? Again, Good luck.
If we had people in government that actually CARED what the Constitution says, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
