MERGED THREADS "Bullet Button Assault Weapon" Regs

[calimayno]

This shouldn't be a shock. Anyone who knows California well enough should have known they weren't going to give you back a freedom while trying to further strip your rights from you.

[cyborg]

It'll be funny if no one registers. What are they gonna do?

[Librarian]

Here's CA-DOJ showing respect for the rights of California citizens who have the temerity to own guns:

[jcwatchdog]

Wait what??? We have to register 80's that are featureless? And get a number top prom the don and have that engraved???

No, this is only for AW registration. They will not register a featureless rifle as an AW whether it's an 80% or store bought.

[AKSOG]

I'm going to wait for the opinion from Michael and Associates. It seems they did WAY more here than just make BB equiped rifles an AW.

I'm close to just taking all my semi autos apart that are victim to this garbage, except maybe one or two featureless, and just storing them until I move.

[BRANCHER]

My first thought was Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

This is outrageous, Did this law have language stating that it would have to be in that configuration as a registered AW? Nope! Once it is a registered AW, it is an AW with any of the features. Can someone who register in the first AW registration which had a muzzle break at time of registration not be able to change it to a flash hider? We have precedence on this. Unbelievable!!!

Trump needs to come to our aid and put the screws to Sacramento! I hope the new US attorney general comes after them too! Doubtful on both fronts but one can hope.

Trump was a snowball... that turned into an avalanche! So one can hope!

and then there's this...

Bullet buttons for life! =(

Yep, definitely moving to Texas!

[moleculo]

Is a Raddlock a "bullet button" as defined by the new regulations?

I would think so. When installed to meet prior CA regulations, it required the use of a tool to remove the magazine.

Sorry, what are you driving at? I don't see anything related to a mag magnet. Only that you may not change out your current feeding mechanism

Read the second paragraph of 5471(m).

An AR-15 style firearm that has a bullet-button style magazine release with a magnet left on the bullet-button constitutes a detachable magazine.

An AR-15 style firearm lacking a magazine catch assembly (magazine catch magazine catch spring and magazine release button) constitutes a detachable magazine.

An AK-47 style firearm lacking a magazine catch assembly {magazine catch spring and rivet pin} constitutes a detachable magazine.

What I gather is that registration means registering it as a fixed mag AW. So adding a mag magnet makes it an AW without a fixed mag and thus illegal.

DOJ has determined that the CCR carries the same weight as the penal code, my guess is all the liberal douche bag child molester protecting judges in this state will go along with that. Looks like it's the other BB time, I planned to register being a LEO and not wanting to risk my career and pension but now there's talk of pictures and a bunch of other BS? suck a bag of dicks.

[kantstudien]

This will be the final straw that causes no one to register.

That's what they would like. The problem is if they try to prosecute you, what are they going to charge you with?

[calimayno]

"If the firearm has been modified or reconfigured to no longer meet the definition of assault weapon, one or more photographs clearly depicting the firearm in its current configuration shall be attached to the written deregistration request. Additional information, photographs, or inspection may be requested by the Department before determining eligibility for deregistration.”

Requesting photos as a back door registration... hmmm, yeah right

[nick]

Looks to be full of underground regulations.

I'm kinda curious, would constant and obvious attempts like this open CA in general, and DOJ in particular to federal receivership (should the feds be so inclined), similar to the one Southern states went through (and, in some cases, are still under) for the civil rights violations against blacks? Or would the incompetence defense work? It seems to work quite well for the government employees.
