WTF is a damn bullet button ?

[alxone]

i cant figure out what the hell the libs are talking about . do they mean mag release button ?[pick-me]

[NGCSUGrad09]

It's a fixed mag button with a smaller button on the inside for releasing the mag. You have to insert the tip or a bullet, punch or other small piece inside to release the mag. Somehow it was figured that it was a legitimate way around the mag release deal in California.

ok thats just lame . guess i never heard about it seeing as i have no intention of living in comieforina .

I'm tig welding my guns shut. This way there will be no issues about mag changes. Of course they will all be 10" suppressed. FVK Them and their "Sensible" mentality. Hell even NYNCO has all but disappeared from our lives.
I'm sure he will pop in just to tout "common sense" 1/2 agreements we can all live with. There's an idea, a Bullet Button avatar for the flag burners of the board!

I was really scared that they were going to force us to use that shit here!

The intent of the California law was to outlaw detachable magazines and make them all like you might think of a standard bolt-action hunting rifle or a Mosin-Nagant. Obviously that doesn't work for rifles that are designed to work with detachable mags, such as the AR. So the law said you have to have a "tool" to detach the magazine, again the intent being to make mag changes very slow.

The bullet button was designed around this limitation. The button is recessed so it can't be depressed with a finger. I think there actually was a court case that determined it was legal.

Classic case of the leftists trying to ban something, the law-abiding citizens finding a legal way to work around it, and the criminals simply not caring.

[Dave]

I wasn't sure if it was the same, but I read about another idea libs had where there is a secondary mag catch so you have to either push and hold the mag release while manually removing the magazine from the well or push the mag release once to let the mag drop a little bit and then again to let the magazine fall out. This was to cause it to take more time to change magazines after the Tucson shooting.

[Ingman]

The whole problem from a legal point of view is what is a "detachable magazine"? Even a Remington 700 ADL technically has a magazine inside it that you can remove by disassembling the gun with tools. The fixed magazine on an SKS is probably a more relevant example, but it too can be removed with the right tools.

California gun owners needed clarification on what was considered "detachable" and the California DOJ offered this interpretation via regulation:


"detachable magazine" means any ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm with neither disassembly of the firearm action nor use of a tool being required. A bullet or ammunition cartridge is considered a tool.


The Bullet Button was invented to meet this definition. I do not see it as either a "loophole" nor a "workaround", I see it as a solution that allows California gun owners to be in strict compliance with the laws passed by their legislature.

Feinstein's proposed 2013 "Assault Weapon Ban" would further harass gun owners by defining a detachable magazine as:


The term `detachable magazine' means an ammunition feeding device that can be removed from a firearm without disassembly of the firearm action.


Feinstein is attempting to effectively outlaw all the methods that California gun owners have used to remain in compliance with the law.

Ah yes, that does look dangerous. We need some common sense legislation against those.

Well, theoretically, it is. We've just gotta pray for the right sequence ot cataclysmic earthquakes and it "should" detach and slide right into the ocean. At least most of it anyway. So they say.

All my buddies in Cali have a wound magnet they stick in their bullet button. Extends past the outer edge and turn the retarded bullet button into a standard mag release. A few cents and shows how fucking stupid the whole idea of the button thing is. Maybe the libtards don't think criminals know his to use a magnet , or any other object that an put into a bullet button.

The tectonic plate California is on is moving INTO the US, so California isn't going anywhere.

Really? I crack open a beer nearly every day and toast mother nature that california doesn't extend FURTHER into the ocean than it already does.

Huh, I hadn't heard of doing this yet. Might need to stock up on a few small magnets just in case this type of legislature is passed elsewhere. Oh wait, I have hundreds of magnets already! Nevermind!

[Gman]

We should require politicians to use a tool before they pass legislation. It's called critical thinking.

[Fromk]

You haven't heard of it because it's not really legal. Those magnets are supposed to be used when the gun goes out of state.

[Irving]

I don't know for sure, but I think there are many smaller faults that are moving relative to each other independently than the movement of the continental plates.
Again, I don't know for sure.

Whoever thought of that needs to be gently smothered with a pillow.

Gun controllers never intended for the bullet button to exist in the first place, they were just too stupid to pass an effective "ban". The bullet button has allowed tens of thousands of Californians to possess what is rightly theirs. Hopefully most of them have a functional mag release button sitting in a drawer ready to swap out the BButton in minutes if the SHTF (it's legal to!)
