Not to be outdone by those Eastcoasters:


Weeks after New York enacted the nation's toughest gun laws, California lawmakers said Thursday they want their state to do even more in response to recent mass shootings, particularly the Connecticut school massacre.
Democrats who control the state Legislature revealed 10 proposals that they said would make California the most restrictive state for possessing firearms.
They were joined at a Capitol news conference by San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, along with several police chiefs.
"California has always been a leader on the issue of gun safety," Villaraigosa said. "New York has stepped up and stepped forward. California needs to answer the call."

One of the things listed they were seeking to ban is "bullet buttons" that can be used to quickly detach and reload magazines in semi-automatic rifles". Are they talking about the magazine release button?

I read it three times. I still have no idea what "so-called bullet buttons" means! I too would think "magazine release", except earlier in the article the measure "would outlaw the future sale of semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines." With no semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines there presumably would be no magazine release left to ban! "So-called 'bullet buttons'"? Who on earth calls any part of a firearm a "bullet button"?

Memo to CBS News
Re: California Gun Laws article dated Feb 8, 2013
Subject: Firearms nomenclature

Gentlemen,
1. The subject line of your article should refer to "firearms", not "guns". A gun is a crew-served weapon, towed behind a vehicle or permanently mounted on a vehicle, aircraft, or ship, and most likely is not the target of the proposed California law.

2. Firearms magazines do not hold "bullets". They are loaded with cartridges, rounds, or ammunition.

3. One does not load "bullets" into a firearm one by one, unless the firearm is an antique muzzle-loader. One loads cartridges. The only place one loads "bullets" is in a reloading press.

4. The "so-called bullet button" does not exist. No one knowledgeable about firearms refers to any part of a firearm by that name. Try doing a little research before writing an article.

Sincerely,
A firearms enthusiast who would never live in either New York or California

When will they learn that prohibiting law abi ing citizens from anything won't keep it out of the hands of those who have ill intent with it? I'm guessing never as they keep trying to take things from us that criminals use.

Why won't they open their eyes and find out criminals are criminals because they break laws. They do whatever they need to do to break said laws.

AR15 Bullet Button

The Bullet Button is a product that allows the shooter to drop a magazine with the use of a tool. It prevents finger manipulation of the mag release, and creates a condition allowable under current individual interpretations of California law.

This does not create a detachable mag situation, but creates an attachable-fixed magazine condition. A bullet tip can be used as the tool, as can any small object such as Allen wrench, or small screwdriver.

This button can not be used with magazines greater than 10 rounds in capacity. To do so in the state of California on an unregistered assault weapon, would be a felony.

The Bullet Button installs in less than a minute, requires no gunsmithing, or cutting on any part of the rifle. The installation is not permanent, and can be reversed just as quickly.

Materials are anodized aircraft grade aluminum, and carbon spring steel wire. All parts needed to convert your standard, or Prince50 equipped AR-15 are included. 100 percent made in California, by Californians, for California shooters.
•New 2nd generation design
•Simple drop-in installation
•Anodized aircraft grade aluminum
•Carbon spring steel wire

The Bullet Button has not yet been approved by the California DOJ.

This has to be the dumbest thing ever!

Firearm and ammunition manufacturers really need to stand up to these state and local governments and refuse to do further business with them as long as they seek to put them out of business.
