can the states actually trump the feds. I read and understood the bill wyoming passed, but is it enforceable? If someone can ban guns (not likely) can a state government stop them. Sounds good, but is it actionable?
A bill similar to Wyoming's will be introduced in our state Senate soon

Good point!
Any legislation that is going to move forward in this session was pre-filed and had preliminary committee work done this past fall. Bills filed now are done for the benefit of political posturing for the electorate rather than really accomplishing something that can be signed into law. It might have a chance in the second half of the session this time next year but expecting something to be done this year is not politically realistic.
I say we STILL write in and voice our opposition to these gun bans loud and clear. If they ignore all our voices just to follow some technical parliamentary procedure, they should do so at the risk of losing their seats.
Great idea but I am not sure it can get around the Supremacy Clause in the US Constitution if push comes to shove.
Even if doesn't hold up to the SC, it might be worth it. Before this gun grab, Obama had the upper hand on almost everything. Now, he just might find out that a lot of rural and centrist democrats are also gun owners, does he want them also pissed at his party? he is just now starting to think about his presidential legacy, does he want to be known for obamacare, or gun control and all that fall-out?
It may not trump the Supremacy Clause but it might be an opening for at least a federal suit and injunction while it is being challenged. I think that is what happened with the Arizona Immigration Law.
