Quoted: I just don't understand why this has ever been a newworthy item and why it hasn't been dropped yet. It's illegal as the CA Constitution has preemption. Local jurisdictions cannot ban guns.

And that means what in real life?
What it means is that Arnold will sign an exemption for San Francisco so they can do as they please.
Just like he did with the dangerous dog laws. The same preemption was in place. Arnold signed a law last week allowing local jurisdictions to ban specific breeds.
Guns will probably be next.

Arnold couldn't just sign an exemption. It would take a Constitutional amendment. Admittedly those are a bit easy to get around here, you only need a simple majority for them to pass. One of the reasons why when you buy a 'pocket' US & CA Const book the US portion takes up about the first 30 or so pages and the CA portion takes up the next 300 pages.
We have amendments covering fig tree planting!
I'll grant you it's doable, sure, but they haven't gone a route that will have an effect.
EDIT: I live in San Diego county. Pretty conservative down here.
