IANAL, but it would seem that a challenge of a State law by a county with a 5.8:1 mandate from its citizens would be a much stronger case than (for example) a NRA-supported lawsuit by an individual.

That’s a very bad way to go, I think. Because if we go by people-support ratios we have nothing less than mob rule.
The best way to proceed, IMO, is to build up a case for proving that the state law is invalid; everything from Constitutional-law to technicalities... shoot it with everything we’ve got.
