If you’re a California gun owner
Now might be the time to consider moving:
Brown approved bills that would ban the sale of semiautomatic rifles equipped with bullet buttons allowing the ammunition magazines to be easily detached and replaced.
And more:
Require an ID and background check to purchase ammunition and create a new state database of ammunition owners
Ban possession of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 bullets.
Restrict the loaning of guns without background checks to close family members.
Does the magazine ban mean grandfathered magazines are now banned? Mr. and Mrs. California, turn them in.

But, but, but, when they passed the original 10 round magazine ban they said you could keep your 10+ round magazines and that was a “reasonable restriction” back then.
Our side knows better now than 20 years ago, but NEVER COMPROMISE. There is nothing short of a total an that will satisfy them and if they say, “but no one wants to take your guns away”. Sure, today, but when their socialist/progressive kids grow up they’ll be back to ban more.

And there is a shit ton more coming after recess.
No one we know will comply.
News at eleven.

I moved in March of this year after having lived in California for 31+ years. With a career in the firearms industry, I saw the writing on the wall, and took a better paying job in another state.
I still miss it sometimes (my friends and family primarily), but at this point, I’m not sure that I could go back. Our ‘representatives” in that state will never stop trying to destroy my rights, my hobby, and the way I earn a living.

I escaped from that looney bin and moved to Wyoming over 10 years ago when I retired and if I didn’t have family still trapped there I’d never cross the state line ever again. Matt, I was born and raised there, lived in that dump for 46 years. Cali was actually a great place to live until the 1980s, then it started to rapidly slide downhill and aint stopped sliding since then.
Maybe this latest steaming pile out of Suckramento will encourage the rest of my family to bail.

“We now declare illegal that which we once mandated.”

“We now declare illegal that which we once mandated.”
That’s just history. For them, what’s happened in the past doesn’t really exist. Constitution? What’s that? Nothing but today, and the glorious future, exists!
The fact that things don’t go well with that sort of mentality is immaterial, of course.

We rag on Cali unmerciful, and with this kind of crazy going on, it’s no wonder. But the truth is that what they have there is a micronation rich in resources, industry, brainpower…and as indicated in comments here, an astounding number of real Americans that are as fed up with their state gov as we all are with fed gov.
Thinking of it in those terms, they are mostly flyover folks overwhelmed and controlled by coastal elites…sound familiar?
Can you say CALEXIT? I knew you could.

I hope one of you can help – who coined the term “bullet button”? It sounds like something a child would come up with. Difficult to believe that adults would use this ridiculous terminology.
Thanks

Caexit for sure – we support the 51st State of Jefferson!
It’s 4th of July, somebody remind me of “taxation without representation,” because there are 80 state-senators elected in California, elected according to population density – and twenty-one counties in flyover California are only able to elect 3-4 of these senators.
CA’s One-Party Democrat-run Legislature is controlled by the money-vote population megaplexes of SanFran and LA.

Also there’s going to be a lot of non-compliance for these showcase gun-bills outside the bi-polar Metroplexes, because the rural communities of CA that lack state-representation typically have Sheriffs who are pro 2A.

Insty notes that although an ID and background check will be required to purchase a box of .22, nothing is currently required to vote.

Billll,
and there never will be voter registration in this Prog run state. Well, not until mandated by the fed .gov, if even then. I’m sure we’ll go from sanctuary cities to an entire state.

JonT:
It was given the name of “bullet button” due to the fact that the regulation required a tool to release the magazine. The handiest “tool” available to a shooter is a cartridge, so the mag release was redesigned to use the nose of a bullet to depress the inset button that allows the release to operate. Other items could be substituted as a tool to do the job, of course. It’s a self-descriptive name, and irritates the Progs in the government and the media (but I repeat myself), so a win-win.
BTW, this is not the first time a cartridge was the intended tool to be used on a firearm. That goes back at least a 100 years.

Thanks Will – I get it now!
