Yul Lose Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 This post ought to be move to another forum. One of the sponsors of the bill, an ex-cop convinced his ilk in the state legislature that a bullet button made a semi-auto rifle fully automatic. Those idiots will believe anything. Link to comment

I would think an ex-cop would know better, of course maybe he did and knew that his compadres in the state legislation were so dumb he could tell them anything!! Link to comment

You nailed it, Rye. Most of them now serving are products of the Kalifornia school system and don't have the ability or desire to do their own research and find out facts for themselves. Any so called fact or claim about a firearm or firearms is immediately taken as gospel by these morons. Link to comment
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I never quite understood any of this bullet button ban stuff. I would think that the antis would want a bullet button so that it makes it harder to change out magazines. But instead, the want to ban the bullet button, making it easier to change magazines? What am I missing here? Link to comment

What am I missing here? I could be wrong myself, but I believe the ban makes magazines absolutely not removable. Have to load through the top like a SKS. Link to comment

What am I missing here? Boggus got it correct. What the antis want is a magazine that is permanently attached and cartridges have to be loaded through the top. The theory is that it will make them slower to reload in a mass shooting atmosphere and someone will have time to sharpen a carrot and attack the attacker whilst he's reloading. Link to comment
Calico Mary Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 but that won't be a gud ideer unless yu have a permit ta carry said sharpened carrot..... Link to comment
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 For those who do not live in California, here is a video that shows a California compliant magazine system. There are kits available with the parts needed to refit your rifle. Here is how to install the parts for ARMagLock kit. Link to comment
Snakebite Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 This law applies to both Good and Bad people, so, it will certainly have a limiting factor in mass shootings. Folks who decide to go out and kill dozens of people will no longer be allowed to use a gun with a removable magazine. They will now be forced to have two or more loaded guns that they can switch to, on the clock, if they want to go for a "Good Time". This is just another attempt to slow down the fast shooters.

Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 The main thing is Cal residents were importing AR's with the bullet button then removing them once they were in state. they will no longer be allowed to import any AR type weapon into the state. Link to comment
Captain Bill Burt Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I look forward to seeing the crime rate plummet in California now that they've passed this 'common sense' gun legislation. Link to comment
Subdeacon Joe Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I pointed out to my member of the CA Assembly and CA State Senate that by their support of that bill they were making firearms less safe. What is the first step in safing a semi-auto? Drop the magazine and open the action to eject any round in the chamber, then lock it open. There is no way to remove a full magazine, one would have to cycle the action by hand in order to empty the magazine. They didn't care that they were making things less safe. Link to comment

German Jim Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Ever look at the California State Flag? It has a RED STAR in the upper left corner! Hmmmm Link to comment
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 "The state flag of California was created on June 14, 1846 in Sonoma, California. It was designed by William Todd (cousin of future First Lady, Mary Todd Lincoln). "The bear image on the original flag was drawn by William Todd and the bear on the current flag was created by Don G. Kelley, the founding editor of Pacific Discovery magazine. "The five-pointed star on the flag was originally put there to reference Texas, the Lone Star State, as both California and Texas were states of Mexico and fought for independence from Mexico."

German Jim Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Now I know what the star references. I knew about William Todd. I think the bear on the original flag was to represent the California Grizzly Bear (now extinct, I think). BTW I had to cut and paste the link. Clicking on it didn't work. Thanks for the link. I'll look at it later. Link to comment
