California struggles to implement new gun-control measures
Fox News ^ | July 18, 2017 | Stephen Gutowski

California has faced a number of setbacks in implementing the state's latest gun-control measures, causing a number of deadlines to be pushed back and leaving some measures in legal limbo.

After passing laws that expand the definition of "assault weapon" and make it illegal to possess gun magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition, the state is facing myriad problems in trying to enforce the new laws. The first trouble came when the California Department of Justice (DOJ) attempted to draft their plan to register all of the rifles in California which have "bullet button" reloading devices and other rifles that would fall under the state's expanded assault weapons ban. On June 26, the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) determined that the DOJ had improperly sought to avoid the public comment period on the plan. That caused the deadline for registration to be pushed back six months.

Then, on June 29, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the enforcement of the state's gun magazine confiscation plan.

"The regulation is neither presumptively legal nor longstanding," U.S. District Judge Roger T. Benitez said in his ruling. "The statute hits close to the core of the Second Amendment and is more than a slight burden. When the simple test of Heller is applied, a test that persons of common intelligence can understand, the statute is adjudged an unconstitutional abridgment."

"attempted to draft their plan to register all of the rifles in California which have "bullet button" reloading devices"

What is a bullet button reloading device? Is this referring to the mag release button?

When it reaches 100%, there is no room to increase taxes.

But there are plenty of schemes to escape or evade taxes, all of which, of course, are deemed illegal and subject to prosecution.

And the offenders will be persecuted to the full extent of the law. That is, the ones not favored will be subject to the letter of the law, while the ones most highly favored are allowed to skate, never pursued.

Abridgment? They can't bring themselves to say "infringement."

So, if any part of the law is deemed or found invalid, then lacking a severalbility clause, the entire law is invalid.

You obviously know nothing about guns. The bullet button is a booster device that allows the user to press it to over energize the bullet well beyond its normal ballistics so that a standard AK47 round will penetrate both sides of a battleship and blow the head off of an elephant standing on the other side. You need to watch CNN more in order to get your facts straight.

Kind of reminds me of the New York “SAFE” Act that was pushed through by the tyrant Cuomo in a knee jerk reaction to Sandy Hook.
