The way to beat the gun-grabbers in Cali would seem to be in the newly popular ballot initiative.

Get a million signatures and then the whole state has to have an election to vote on your proposal.

Mine would say: All state of California gun laws prior to this date are hereby voided, and enforcement or prosecution of any of the newly voided laws is hereby made a felony.

Why? Our judges (tyrants in black robes) will just say "No."

We did, where have you been?

California's Proposition 15 -- On 11/2/82, by 63%-37%, Californians defeated a handgun ban initiative that anti-gun groups and their allies in the press were sure would be over whelmingly approved. An estimated 250,000 Californians registered to vote solely because of the handgun issue; 54 of California's 58 sheriffs opposed the proposal. The Washington Post reported that the Director of the Nat'l Coalition to Ban Handguns called the vote "a temporary glitch." On 5/6/83, Pres. Ronald Reagan, a two-term California governor, commended NRA for helping to defeat the ban, saying, "You shocked California last November when you mobilized to help send Proposition 15 down to defeat. You pointed out that police would be so busy arresting handgun owners, they would be unable to protect the people against criminals. It's a nasty truth, but those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by gun control laws. I happen to know this from personal experience." (http://kcnetwork.net/defense/handgun-wars.htm)
