The California Senate voted on Thursday to outlaw the sale of assault rifles with easily detachable ammunition magazines known as bullet buttons.
The measure is among a wide-ranging slate of gun control bills that is being debated as some Democratic leaders rushed to head off a ballot measure advocated by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom.
All 11 measures would significantly tighten California's gun laws, which are already among the strictest in the nation. The measures then will head to the state Assembly.

“Bullet Button”?
Do they mean the magazine release?
Yeah, if only those jihadis in San Berdoo hadn’t had bullet buttons none of those people would have been murdered.
I challenge ANYONE to point to a crime that was enabled, caused, or facilitated by a “bullet” button.
yeah.
They can outlaw all they want............haha
Woah. Did they really just say “bullet button?”
Uh... there aren’t words for that kind of stupid. First graders running government?
Ok, reading that article is good. Now I know what a “bullet button” is.
What I didn’t know was that Cali had already outlawed mag release buttons on a bunch of guns? Say what??? When did that happen?
Cali mandated a release that required a tool. So someone made one where only the top of a bullet could release it.
They became called bullet buttons.
Yes and no. A magazine release that can be used by a tool less human is already against the law in Cali. A tool must be used to release the magazine. So gunmakers, following the law created a magazine release that could be operated by pressing a bullet onto the release button. This became known as a bullet button. The lawmakers, in their infinite wisdom decided that it was time to eliminate this “loophole” to their previous well-intentioned efforts to make reloading as difficult as possible. In an ideal world evil firearms available to the public would be limited to a single round carried in the user’s pocket (ala Barney Fife). Loading the weapon should require 15 minutes using 5 specialized tools.
Do they mean the magazine release?
If so I guess Californians will have to resort to belt fed ammo.
It would seem so..........................
I think they already have a law against a standard magazine release...and the release must require a ‘tool’. So, in Kalifornia, manufacturers have devised a recessed button, where a 5.56 round works as a perfect ‘tool’. I don’t know what this new law means - probably have it so you’ll need a screwdriver.
And, I assume that all existing guns are now illegal, if they don’t have the right type of ‘slow magazine release’. I can see the Bloods and the Crips having a big get together, where they convert their existing stock to meet the new law.
I have personally removed these for friends (here in a free state) who bought new rifles disabled for sale in Commiefornia but purchased in a free state.
This requires new components and a cut off wheel...
Isaiah 3
New International Version (NIV)
Judgment on Jerusalem and Judah
3 See now, the Lord,
the Lord Almighty,
is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah
both supply and support:
all supplies of food and all supplies of water,
2
the hero and the warrior,
the judge and the prophet,
the diviner and the elder,
3
the captain of fifty and the man of rank,
the counselor, skilled craftsman and clever enchanter.

I will make mere youths their officials;
children will rule over them.
I thought that was the trigger!
Like trying to punch through a brick wall.
don’t youm ean “california criminals will be forced to use belt-fed ammo”?
Around 10 years ago, silencers became legal in Kansas. The legislature’s logic: the cops can have silencers, so the people should be able to have them too.
I like that line of thinking.
I think that anyone who is a guard in the California legislature, or on the governor’s security detail should only use what is available to the people of California. If the people have to use a tool to drop a magazine, so should they.
...which as we know from New York and Chicago, work so well...
