I think they are saying the federal law oversteps its authority, under the 2nd Amendment. There is precedent that an unconstitutional law is a nullity (Norton v. Shelby) So by extension anyone enforcing it is violating civil rights and a lawbreaker themselves.

That's the theory from a layman's perspective anyway, but since fed.gov gets to umpire its own games, it's all symbolic (this is just a bill and not a law yet, right?)
