MERGED THREADS "Bullet Button Assault Weapon" Regs

[Malthusian]

It must be a complete functioning firearm "and" complete before Dec31, 2016

Librarian, any chance we can get one thread instead of several?

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.

I think disassembled storage when not going to the range is in fact a VERY smart move regardless of whether or not you are complying.

Re-read the first paragraph of 5471(m) and really think about it. I'm not going to say anything else since the DOJ can't seem to get right and write regs which make any damn sense, and I'm not giving them any ammo. The solution to your question is right there in black and white.

As already been discussed. They can't change the laws as they are written here. If you have an idea feel free to share it.

Sooo ...If you have a registered AW with a bullet button and use a mag magnet to function the mag release, it is still an AW just with a little more more "assault" factor, right? However legal the way I see it is written?

Any legal scholars want to chime in?

There's a passage that specifically addresses that. Check out (m) under the definitions section. Page 3 of 15.

And tolerate we will, because they don't serve Starbucks or show Game of Thrones in prison...

Exactly how many of the 325,000 that defied Connecticut's registration requirement have been arrested?

[1bulletBarney]

I'm no lawyer, but as I read it...

"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."

"left" being the key word. In other words, you can be in possession of a magnet, you could use as a tool to remove a magazine, but if it is "left" in the firearm is constitutes a detachable magazine.

So if I leave the mag magnet "right" in/on the bullet button this would be OK??? No??

Let us please use this one only.

Breathe.

Use the breath for cursing.

Don't type the cursing here.

I feel sorry for the millions of AR/AK owners in this State that aren't gun people.

The DOJ has made this extremely difficult when it didn't have to be. And this is why people don't register. But that's probably what they want.

NRA and CRPA have obtained the text of the proposed regs. An analysis of them will be coming shortly from our office.

Thank you for standing with CRPA as we work to preserve the Second Amendment in California.

Thank you for your hard work!

I truly believe they want full compliance. The certainly are confident that Californians are so stupid that they will fall into line and go along with the program with little to no resistance. Most people in California are okay as long as they have Starbucks, Weed and the View on TV.

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.

If it were a fixed mag AW it would not be an AW, yes?

Sorry, I don't understand the post at all.

I would argue profanity is a completely appropriate response for these "regulations." Maybe not written profanity, but it is definitely warranted. The DOJ WAAAAAY overstepped their authority here. And they need to get stomped on for it.

Hasn't this been gone over already? I can make 5 lowers into functioning firearms with one upper. It doesn't say that it has to remain in any certain configuration. One could swap the uppers for each rifle for the purposes of registration.

[Malthusian]

And where is that written?

They are asking for pictures, the same upper used over and over will be kinda obvious. The compliance letter is up to their discretion

The CCR states they can and will ask for additional information
