All firearms with a “Bullet Button” to be BANNED

California Bullet Button

Roseville, CA -(AmmoLand.com)- Assembly Bill 1664, authored by Assembly members Marc Levine and Phil Ting, both Bay Area Democrats;

“would define detachable magazine to mean an ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm without disassembly of the firearm action, including….with the use of a tool.”

Cutting through all of the legislative legalese, Levine’s proposal would force ALL owners of ALL semi-automatic firearms that employ a “Bullet Button” or some other magazine-locking device to register them as “assault weapons.”

FIGHT AB 1664 HERE

The bill would also BAN the future sales of any center fire rifle with a detachable magazine employing a “Bullet Button,” cutting down the number of rifles Californians can buy significantly.

If you own one of these firearms, your kids WON’T be able to inherit it, you CAN’T transfer it to anyone and you WILL BE in a special file at the Department of Justice.

The authors will say that AB 1664 is just a simple bill that will be used to promote public safety.

But we all know that this isn’t about public safety; it’s about public control. And it is about disarming YOU.

People please educate yourself. A bullet butting is a saftey feature. It makes it harder for the shooter to change magazines quickly. Instead of pushing a button to drop the mazine you have to take a bullet, push it in the center part of the button, then the mazine will come out. Left wingers don’t like it because they think the word bullet is scary. The only reason they don’t like certain guns is because they say they look scary!

The Rifleman

Could you please explain exactly what a “bullet button” is? Forgive me, but I’m kind of in the dark about this.

Eric_CA

@The Rifleman, Per Google “A bullet button is a device used to fix a magazine in a semiautomatic rifle that replaces the magazine release with a block which forces the user to remove the magazine by using a tool as opposed to his or her finger; this allows rifles to comply with California’s firearms law. I’ll give you the back ground based on my understanding. The California legislators would like nothing more than to ban sporting “assault rifles.” So they came out with an idea to ban said rifles that have a normal magazine releases. Anyone with an “assault rifle”… Read more »

Eric. Thank you very much for your detailed answer to this question. It is very much appreciated.

@The Rifleman,

Your welcome. If your in California, locate and sign the gun veto referendum:

My question is- if we are forced to regester our sporting rifles as assault weapons because they have a magazine release that uses a tool, can we remove that type of release and replace it with a regular push button? I know Im going to do that if I do follow the illegal regestration. Also, if I remove the gas tube and make it a “bolt action” will it be considered an assault weapon still because it still looks scary? I have an AR designed and used soley for hunting. I actually dont care if I have to manually charge… Read more »

Tim,

Excellent question. If one has to register a “patrol rifles” with a bullet button, then we should be able to remove the bullet button like the previous rifles that required registration. If you or anyone has an answer please post.

Dan

I read this article and my understanding of their “bullet button” would apply to my Ruger 10/22 my ,40 cal. pistol ,AR-15 basically anything w/ a magazine release would be an assault weapon. Funny thing is I have had them in my home for years and they have never “assaulted” my two daughters, wife or myself let alone anyone else. ” !@#$ING IDIOTS”

RDNK

@Neb,them hangings should always be a public event for everyone to enjoy ! Bring the kids and dogs too !

RDNK

What’s next in that sissy state ? Are single shot .22’s about to become assault weapons ?

Eric_CA

RDNK, to answer your question, yes. All semi auto rifles will be banned as a bill is working it’s way to the legislature.

TEX

Kalifornia,a real firearms owners paradise. @Wild Bill,19 large is a small price to pay to get out of that sh*t hole !

Wild Bill

Yep Tex, it was the best money that I ever spent! When we got here, all the neighbors came over and introduced themselves, and wanted to know all about us. That would never happen in the big cities. And the people of Texas are really generous, too! They have left me seven puppies in my drive way, over the years, and then they take off, before I could even thank them.

TEX

Kalifornia is a queer liberal shit hole !

Neb Selim

THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED IN 30 DAYS IF CALIFORNIANS WOULD SIMPLY PICK UP THEIR GUNS AND END THE POLITICAL CAREERS OF THOSE POLITICAL FIGURES WHO ARE ATTEMPTING TO SUBVERT OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHTS THAT ARE “ABSOLUTE” STARTING WITH MR. GHOST GUNNER HIMSELF THAT PUKE KEVIN DE LEON!

I’D LOVE TO SEE HIM SWINGING ON THE END OF A ROPE ON THE SACRAMENTO CAPITAL GROUNDS!

I WOULD PAY TO WATCH THAT HAPPEN!

Wild Bill

Swinging on the end of a rope on the “Excremento” capitol grounds, Neb, the “Excremento” capitol grounds!

Eric_CA

Take my money, I would pay for that on pay-per-view!

Kevin De Leon, the son of an illegal alien. Representing the interest of illegals in a Los Angeles district. He got health care for illegal alien children AND now he and Brown are trying to get health care for illegal alien adults.

By the way, since California has motor-voter registration, over 450,000 new democratic voters registered in the City of Los Angeles. Tells you where California is headed.

Gene Ralno

Bullet button. What an ignorant expression. I’m guessing California owners of firearms with detachable magazines won’t comply with this illegal tyranny. I’d guess they’ll ignore it like owners in New York, Connecticut, Washington State and Colorado are ignoring their own flavor of this stupidity. If I lived in California, I’d hide my firearms and watch. If it became really dangerous, I’d execute a clever escape plan. Regardless of how one does it, compliance is out of the question. It’s the reason we’ve fought all of our wars.

I previously held an unfair and biased opinion of all Californians. I have since spent a total of a few months traveling in that state and visiting many different areas. I have asked many people what their views are of the government, gun control, civil rights, etc., and discovered they are not nuts, not morons, and definitely NOT anti-gun! However, they are beat down and tired. They live in one of the most expensive states in the Union and have a poorer middle class than most places I have been. The politicians have raped the good people of California and… Read more »

Someone in another post might have already said this but I’m sayin’ it anyway…The fewer guns they are allowed to own and fewer types of guns they can own/buy on both coasts will just make it easier for Russian / Chinese / UN Peace Keepers to land and establish a foot hold when the powers-that-be decide to finally make their big move and start their “New World Order”. Sounds crazy but sure makes sense!

JJ

You can brand certain people with the “c” and “m” words, but in practice nobody in today’s United States actually holds a “government ownership of just about everything” ideology.

Ruark

California is a perfect example of what happens when liberals are elected to governmental positions. You can’t even burn wood in your fireplace there; it “contributes to global warming.”

If Hillary Clinton is elected, she will start the ball rolling to turn America into one great big California, not to mention the mother and father of all guns and ammo shortages.

MickeyM

Further proof you cannot give the gun banners even a micro-inch. These are the same Libtard Socialists that made these same rifles to be equipped with a “bullet button” because the normal magazine release was just to easy to push.
Their evil schemes to make all of CA defenseless against illegal alien thugs is more obvious every day. If the evil politicians can’t be removed with votes there is only one solution left. Hint: 1776

Eric_CA

I vehemently resent comments like “they get what they deserve” and “the idiots in those states deserve what they get for allowing the same idiots to be re elected so I have no sympathy for them”.

We, conservative Republicans, are out numbered by about 2.6 million Democrats. Clearly, we are out numbered, so to call us idiots, is, well, idiotic.

I expect some empathy or support rather than petulant Trump-like name calling.

MickeyM

So you are not intelligent enough to find work in another state where freedom still exists?

Wild Bill

Mickey, there are often other ties that bind a person to where they live other than job. Family, cost (it cost me 19k up front to get out of Ca.),ownership of land or businesses, and health concerns (e.g. living near medical treatment that specializes in one’s own particular condition), come immediately to mind.
If for one of the above reasons or others, you are stuck in California, then you are subject to the dictates of the minorities, who are in control of both houses of the CA legislature, and no election or series of elections is going to change that.

Eric_CA

@MickeyM, Clearly, if one thinks intelligence is the only factor, then you are surely lacking thereof. I have a couple of years (actually 17 to 29 months depending on how I feel) to go for retirement and my wife has a minimum of four to go. Additionally, I currently care for my elderly Mom.

How much longer till that POS state falls in the ocean along with NY? I will never live there or retire there as those idiots couldn’t even help themselves In a real catastrophe as most of them are sheep and easy pickings.

Some of them can’t even walk there own dog and have to pay people……

The idiots in those states deserve what they get for allowing the same idiots to be re elected so I have no sympathy for them.

After thinking about this for a couple of seconds, I realized the term itself is laughable. Bullet button? BULLET BUTTON?!! I asked myself what the hell is a bullet button? Then I realized it’s another made up term like “assault weapon” or “gun violence” or whatever blows the leftist skirt. Many here have stated they plan to ignore this part of a law for several reasons. But the fact is, this ridiculous term appears in no authoritative manual and is not part of any gunsmith’s lexicon. Besides, the leftists who argue for it wouldn’t know the difference between their bullet… Read more »

So in 2010 there were 11,078 firearms related homicides by 2012 that number is down to 8,855 deaths. I believe iif you look into this more you’ll see a decline year over year of firearms related homicides why? Could it possibly related to everyone packing a CCW? Sure sounds plausible. What’s undeniable is in 1999 there were approximately 4,500 related deaths due to opioids use (Vicidin) fast forward to 2010 and that number is 16,651 most of which were prescribed medications. So, while these cowardice acts of mass shootings is a damn shame. The numbers indicate we have bigger fish… Read more »

How ever today special interest try too circumvent the rules in place for changing the Constitution because it requires a super majority.

I live in CA, I vote, but there’s an overwhelming majority of very liberal democrats and ……….. My votes never count. I’m looking to get out, Maybe NV, NH, CO, NM. But if we continue to lose rights in certain states, little by little, step by step, the number of states will grow in number where you will have restricted civil rights. Then and now is time to re-read and study writings by Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and many others.

I also vote in California but the voting here is rigged and a total set up by the Democrats (AKA Communists) and their illegal aliens they are importing and allowing to vote. This year all California votes should be disqualified in the national elections until Commiefornia cleans it’s voter rolls of every GD illegal on them!

james

I thought their city is a sanctuary city, so if they refuse to prosecute ILLEGAL ALIENS, then law abiding citizens have standing to NOT register their firearms.

A society that ignores the law(s) is a lawless society.

Harold

Dear Lord, enough is enough. They continue to illegally take away our rights. There have been people trying to talk diplomatically to these liberals for years. It is time to fight and get rid of this tyrannical government. I am tired of paying dues to several gun groups, chipping in for these types of diplomatic measures all to watch us, the legal responsible gun owners to continue to lose our rights. On top of that, because these crazy laws keep getting passed it has continued to raise prices on the guns and ammo we are told we can have. Until… Read more »

If all these pro-gun organizations would joint together for the cause we would win. Can you imagine a 100 million person armed march on DC? I have long felt the same about the large number of military associations which all support the same or close to the same views, yet do not get together to work out a unified strategy. I often think they, like the pro-gun associations, are in it for the money their leadership makes and not so much for the cause. Like how many gun groups have popped up asking for members and donations since the anti-gun… Read more »

Imagine if the early U.S.A. had imposed a rule that there could not be a flint or ramrod in one’s musket…you know, for public safety [ha].

This is nothing but infringement, preventing one from using his/her rifle or pistol..and it is silly, beside being unconstitutional.

Thanks for the article.

D Reich

Talk Talk Talk, Until you stop the people that propose and pass draconian illegal laws, nothing will change. The second amendment is written in clear english, (so liberals can understand it) anyone passing laws that are in conflict of “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” are traitors and should be tried and if convicted executed as prescribed by law.

Any American State that allowing illegals, thriving on taxpayer handouts while living in sanctuary cities, burn American flags for decades does not deserve to exist.

If you’re unable to move, hide your guns and never speak of them again. Keep them clean though because your need for them increases every day that laws like this one are allowed.

I have spent much of my life in California, in the military and after that, as a police officer at various garden spots in Southern California. In 1995 I discovered I was sick to death of both the political climate and some of the stupid laws “they” expected me to enforce, even back then. I left the LE field and California both. While I still miss The Job every day, I have never missed California, I’ve never even gone back for a visit despite some highly lucrative business offers. I have told folks; “There isn’t enough money to get me… Read more »

Dumbocrats at it again in California. Unreal, I’d offer this advice if it was truly an option…move, but I realize some of us are stuck by circumstances. Honestly though, just the way they tax you in that state would be enough to send me packing.

As the article suggests, voice your opinion though it will fall on deaf ears as the legislature has proven time and time again it’s like a damn nightmare.

This kind of sh*t is why WE in the gun community reference a slippery slope ! Remember, it was only like a decade ago that all semi rifles were to have a “bullet button” if they were to be legal from that point on,.. Now they want to go just ONE MORE STEP,… and ban that too,.. F’n protectionists !! #Gungrabbinbastards

Jeff

Anyone with half a brain realizes that gun crimes are rarely committed by persons with legally registered firearms. If I remember correctly 92% of gun crimes are done utilizing an illegally obtained and nonregistered firearm. Whether it is stolen, black market or otherwise imported and distributed via gangs or drug cartels, the vast majority of people supplying these illegal firearms are counting on the rabid reactions of politicians to limit the protection offered by the legally obtained and owned firearms.

fishunter

A law I would like to see is: Any legislator or person employees as a government employee who attempts to create or adapt laws that interfere with the Second Amendment shall immediately be terminated from their position and shall be ineligable to regain such or any similar position for the remainder of their lives. I am not an attorney or writer of law, but I believe you get the idea of what I’m saying. I would like to see those in power pick up this idea and run with it.

They already violate their oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution. That should get them kicked out of office.

LawrenceR

you know, the gun owners who have guns with a magazine release button can have their rifle converted from having a button to having a small lever that releases the magazine. They are compliant with the law; they don’t own a semi with a magazine release button, so they are safe from the idiots who wrote the law. I’m sure it could be done without a bank breaking gunsmith bill. They thought they were being clever about getting rid of semi-auto rifles with this method but all it does is show them for what they are.

DAN III

LawrenceR,

“you know, the gun owners who have guns with a magazine release button can have their rifle converted from having a button to having a small lever that releases the magazine. They are compliant with the law;”

DaveW

We, the gun owners, already compromised with the state when they gave us to believe that if we accepted bullet buttons they would lay off further restrictions or bans. But, that wasn’t enough for the anti-gun proponents. They keep chipping away. And none of what they do will reduce criminal possession of firearms; especially firearms which are almost never used for criminal activities. The major metro areas in California are full of gangs and gang controlled crime. Hispanic gangs and Asian gangs preying on the innocent… including their own. These are people who will never follow the laws. Disarming the… Read more »
