Why not just start a signture petition drive, "I don't want to die via the state"

Actually, I think if you worded the headline of the proposed amendment carefully most CA voters would sign it, we all know how stupid most CA voters can be, something like "Proposition 2A: Anti Rape & Murder of CA Families Act".
We could also put something in there like "The federal govt is arming the drug cartels and CA is releasing thousands of criminals onto your streets, sign this petition if you would like to be able to protect your family, if you don't then you are voting to watch helplessly as your loved ones are killed and violated". Also "The courts have ruled that the police have no obligation to protect you or your family plus the PD's are facing cutbacks and staffing levels are falling increasing wait times for 911 responses"...Sign now to save your babies!!!

The problem is that the government gets to decide how the ballot question shall be worded. MD voters gathered enough signatures to put a repeal of our handgun roster on the ballot in 1988, the proposed question was worded to our advantage (I can't find the proposed and actual ballot questions at this moment) but the state changed the question to be spiritually along the lines of "should dangerous, poorly-constructed baby-killing handguns be allowed to be sold in Maryland?" The vote was 58% for the roster and it has been in effect for the last 23 years. Luckily it is rubber stamp for most conventional handguns but it does delay us from purchasing new handguns for 4-6 months.
