It's hard to understand the anti-gun mindset, because it seems wholly based in ignorance.

For example, SB-47 wants to ban the use of what are called bullet buttons, which are a device that replaces the standard mag release and require a small tool to release the magazine, by current California law, this makes the firearm a fixed magazine firearm.

Here's the wording from the bill, describing what will now be considered a Fixed Magazine.

(b) For purposes of this section, “fixed magazine” means an ammunition feeding device contained in, or permanently attached to, a firearm in such a manner that the device cannot be removed without disassembly of the firearm action.

Disassembly of the firearm action? Hell, when an AR-15 mag is empty the action is disassembled already, as the BCG is back way too far to be blown back, if it's forward, the action still can't operate, as it requires gas from the round. Disassembly can't be taking the bolt carrier group apart or changing the gas port as no court would support that interpretation.

Where does California find these people that write laws?

Heck, maybe with the law, we can just get rid of the silly bullet buttons.

You're trying to apply logic to knee-jerk pandering. California is trying to make it impossible for gun owners to possess firearms by doing everything short of an unconstitutional outright ban. There's an ammo permit/background check bill, the magazine lock ban, and the banning of rifles with detachable magazines, semi-auto or bolt-action. Own an Enfield? It'll be an "Assault Weapon" if the bill passes. Ruger 10/22? Baby and single-mother-slaying "assault weapon". The point of these bills is not crime prevention/reduction, but controlling people and about incrementally chipping away at Constitutional rights since an outright ban would not be allowed.

It really sucks living here. The gun industry found ways around the current laws (which only harm law abiding gun owners), so the legislatures' next step is to ban semi-autos w/ detachable magazines, and eventually semi automatic rifles altogether. Now all that will be left are M1's and SKS's until the next mass shooting conveniently happens when new laws are being proposed... California is a logistical nightmare for survivalists. Anything that makes a law abiding gun owner's life in CA a little easier is regarded as a loophole to these morons.
