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 ?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I wish California was detachable.
