They really did shoot themselves in the foot.
But only with a gun with a 10 round max magazine with no mag release, folding stock, or combination of pistol grip, flash hider, or compensator, and only on the approve gun list that does not include "high powered" .50 caliber heat seeking baby killing cop destroying spray from the hipping shoot down airplaning.

So their foot should be ok.

Sorry, I had to

Back on topic, the arguments these people are making (such as in the Colorado college gun ban where it's not about guns, it's about the "autonomy of the board of reagents") are pretty far fetched.

I think California's strategery is extremely short-sighted. If they keep making these little, inconsequential arguments, we are going to find ourselves having the 2A under strict scrutiny by means of slippery slope. For instance, like DC, if they argue "well only handguns are banned so it's ok" that's going to get struck down. Then it's "well only high cap mags are banned so it's ok" that's going to get struck down, then it's "well only calibers over .40 are banned so it's ok" then that will get struck down. All of these little regulations and arguments fail when standing up to Heller and McDonald. If they don't change their strategery they are going to find themselves with a boat load of case law against them just because they keep losing all of these, in the scope of things, inconsequential cases.

But, as Al has alluded to, this idea of low hanging fruits is more the work of Alan Gura and our side than anything else.
