In reply to the discussion: California Senate Passes Comprehensive New Gun Control Legislation [View all]beevul
(12,194 posts)1. Remember folks...
Nobody wants to take your guns:
...requiring such weapons to be registered with the Department of Justice and prohibiting the future sale, purchase or possession of such weapons in California."

"This loophole enables a firearm owner to use a bullet or other pointed object to quickly detach and replace a weapons ammunition magazine, converting a semi-automatic rifle into an assault weapon.
Nope. Bullet button rifles were not "assault weapons".
An individual can switch magazines on a gun with a bullet button within seconds, making them especially deadly in a mass shooting situation," State Assemblymember David Chiu of California's 17th District explained in a press release.
No 'bullet button" rifle was ever used in any mass shooting.
Someone, somewhere, please, tell me more about nra fear mongering...

I haven't been asked to do so. However, gun rights, like all rights, have limitations.
