California has a preemption clause

Exactly and that's why the state judge was wise (and I believe motivated) to finish it in state court rather than have the 9th screw up and ok the ban moving it to SCOTUS and a possible groundbreaking SCOTUS ruling on the individual right.

"...and ok the ban moving it to SCOTUS and a possible groundbreaking SCOTUS ruling on the individual right."

IIRC, the Ninth Circuit has ALREADY ruled that there IS no individual RKBA, while (I think) the Sixth Circuit has ruled that there IS such a right. Both (different) judgements apply in the areas of jurisdiction of the two Circuits.

Eventually, the Supremes are going to HAVE to rule on this issue, which is why getting more conservative, strict-constructive Justices on the Supreme Court is essential. We could use at least two more Scalias.
