Yeah, if only those jihadis in San Berdoo hadn’t had bullet buttons none of those people would have been murdered.

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.

If so I guess Californians will have to resort to belt fed ammo.

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.

A 'Bullet Button' is an idiotic device intended to make magazine release difficult.

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...

Yes. they required a magazine that needed a tool to remove.

The market responded with a magazine that could be removed using the pointy end of a bullet as a tool...
