Well, really, any state that has a similar law on the books. But yesterday's ruling was specifically about a NY law. CA and many other states will also be impacted.

I'd also note that the Sullivan Act[0] was put into law 111 years ago, and was perfectly fine until last week.
What has changed to make it unconstitutional now?

There was a case about it now, and Heller changed, in 2008.
SB-8 helped create a framework for bypassing constitutional “rights” and I think it’s time that California, with its direct democracy, bans guns altogether.
The supreme court just said abortion is not constitutionally protected so SB-8 isn't bypassing constitutional rights.
You might disagree with the court, but that doesn't matter since any law similar to SB-8 related to guns would be handled by that court.
That said, I think CA/NY and others should absolutely do it. They should be super aggressive and start using the tactic created in SB-8 on all kinds of issues if for no other reason than the ridiculousness of relying on civilian enforcement of laws.
If guns are banned or SB-8 style tactics are banned we win either way.

What you would probably end up with is that the SB-8 bill banning guns is ruled unconstitutional but the mechanism(SB-8) is not.
>If guns are banned
You know they won't just magically disappear right? They will still exist en masse. Guns are mostly banned in Mexico, but the cartels use them to control the government. Careful what you wish for.
New York* I believe.
