So, even if they passed a bill, it’s void right out of the gate.

I don't think that's precisely true, because of the time element. Such a bill would be law, and do its damage, until a case was brought before a court which then overturned the law. Look at what happened in DC after the Heller decision. Gun licenses were still restricted by local ordinances, until further cases were brought.

True, they could “float” for a while til the lawsuits got to the courts, but I don’t think it would have to get to the Supreme Court, because there is already an SC ruling on the subject. Any lower court could apply that precedent and issue an injunction on the law to stop enforcement.
