Apparently they think the issue isn't that we have a drought it's that the Gummint is hoarding...

You could almost forgive them for believing something this stupid, since they've spent the last 40 years telling themselves that all problems in the universe stem from the government getting in the way of their freedumb. It's the only mental hammer they have, so in their world everything looks like a nail

Here's Gun Owners of America's Larry Pratt with some excellent advice for a law abiding public:

“You know, we need a sheriff there that is just going to walk into the water facility and turn it back on,” Pratt replied.

But Mack said one sheriff wasn’t enough. He suggested 25 sheriffs were needed.

“Take 25 California sheriffs, walk up to that facility, and say, ‘Guess what boys, we got a court order. Turn on the water, and if you don’t, we will,’” Mack explained. “That is exactly what it is going to take.”

Apparently they think the issue isn't that we have a drought it's that the Gummint is hoarding the water for ... drinking? Well that will not stand! Let's just go git it!!

If you want a little preview of what climate change is going to look like in a wingnut hellhole, there you go. Morons with guns taking what they want.

If you're interested in the realities of the California drought, the problem is that we have lots of people, lots of farmland, lots of natural resources and not enough water. Gun-toting neanderthals can't solve that problem.
