Looks like the DOJ is now on ‘our’ side for a change...
The Justice Department has sued California over its new Glock ban and theCommonwealth of Virginia over a law banning a common semi-automatic rifle.
The first lawsuit also seeks to prevent enforcement of the state’s “Handgun Roster” — a list limiting legal firearms that individuals may purchase.
The United States challenges both as unlawful under the Second Amendment.
“The Second Amendment is a sacred right belonging to all Americans, even those in California. California cannot ban the most popular type of handgun in America,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “We will work to stop this blatant trampling of our rights by the California government to protect the rights of lawful gun owners.”

The Dems have, and continue to pass laws they ‘know’ are going to be overturned sooner or later (see Hawaii vampire law), but want to run off or force folks to get rid of as many guns as they can, as they are still seeking power.
The problem is, as long as we the people have a way to defend ourselves, their goals can’t be met.
But I don’t see them stopping anytime soon...
I need more popcorn for this one!
It is actually worse than you wrote.
Yes, the Dems have, and continue to pass laws they ‘know’ are going to be overturned sooner or later - that's a fact
As I understand it - IANAL, NDIPOOTV
While the laws are in force, the idea is to convict as many felons as possible for violating the law. When the law is overturned, those convicted of violating the law while it was in effect are still convicted felons and still stripped of their gun rights, unless granted a full pardon by that state's governor. Stripping people, who are known avid gun owners, of their gun rights is one of the sub rosa objectives of passing unconstitutional gun laws.
the thing those mental midgets don't see is that it's working exactly backwards. The law comes out and it's never enfocable on signing... so there's a sudden rush to purchace. People that would never have bought an AR in their lives, bought ARs because "well if the government says I shouldn't have one of these, I NEED one of these." It may not be "human nature" but it's sure as shit "American nature."
Prohibition does not work here. It just creates new classes of criminals. "Al Capone, white curtesy phone please" The Mafia would have been just a NYC and Chi problem if not for Carrie Nation and her band of puritanical bitches.
