Because the Executive doesn't enforce Constitutional rights. Enforcing the Constitution is the role of the Judiciary. We may all agree that a law isn't/doesn't <fill in the blank>, but the Judiciary is the tool that makes that a reality. Otherwise it's nothing more than a temporary decree (ie, edict) until the next guy comes along.

The executive branch executes the laws. If California is breaking the laws, the executive branch is supposed to do something about it. The judiciary is to interpret the law.
Regardless, a petition like that creates public awareness. And that's the primary reason to sign it. If it makes a stir, more people will be alerted to the issue who otherwise would still be watching reruns of American Idol.

Fair enough. Poor choice of words on my part, as you're right, the Judiciary doesn't have the mechanism to actually enforce the laws they interpret.
I'm just leery of everything being "solved" by EA or EO (regardless of political flavor). As you guys are pointing out, there are other means.

Agreed, the exposure isn't going to hurt. If Cali is ever going to make a big push to remove some of those unconstitutional gun laws now is the time with a pro-gun POTUS, Senate and house.

I'm with you. I don't want EOs to solve this. I don't even want Congress to pass laws to override illegal laws in states (ie CCW reciprocity). I want the law itself to be respected and upheld through the land through SCOTUS and executive action. We are now in a political climate that laws are no longer blind and for all. Unless the Sleeping Giant wakes, he'll be soup by dawn.
