The majority of gun control advocates were prefer a total ban coupled with confiscation.

Unless you can provide a credible source, I'm calling BS on that one. Even a majority of NRA members favor some limitations. Which means they are "gun control advocates".

They differ on how restrictive the limits should be, but the overwhelming majority of Americans favor at least some.

Confiscation isn't going to happen, so don't even worry about that. SCOTUS would shoot down any attempt at that. So that's like worrying "what if the moon falls down on us". Not going to happen, so don't waste synapses worrying about it.

And, as albaby explained to you, you shouldn't even worry about being attacked in your home. The odds of that are vanishingly small. Non-zero, but miniscule. The firearm(s) you possess are more likely to be used on someone in your household than an intruder.

Probably would require a constitutional amendment.

Nope. California has an independent entity do it. The Constitution doesn't have anything to say about how you draw your districts. That's a state matter.

The independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission (CCRC) uses the new census data to redraw the Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, and State Board of Equalization district boundaries.

That is a better way. Keep the politicians out of it. It might also be interesting to impose geometric rules (e.g. no curves unless they follow a river or state boundary, no more than 8 sides to any district). And a non-political board deciding seems reasonable.
