I have heard, seen and read all kinds of info on the "bullet button' and how it makes guns w/ detachable magzines 'legal' in California... after research the CA Attorney General website and CA penal codes on the assault weapon ban, I found that what appears to be a ruling in February, 2000.... a bullet is not a tool, and therefore a bullet button does not make the gun legal... here is an excerpt:

I'd like to see a direct link for this.

Here's the link to the Assault Weapon Identification Guide 3rd Edition 2001, directly from the CA Attorney General office. In the Glossary, Page 80, "Magazine, Detachable"

"Magazine, detachable - An ammunition feeding device that can be removed readily from the firearm with neither disassembly of the firearm action nor use of a tool being required. A bullet or ammunition cartridge is considered a tool. Ammunition feeding device includes any belted or linked ammunition, but does not include clips, en bloc clips, or stripper clips that load cartridges into the magazine."

User 'ddeu' is all screwed up with outdated information during the regulatory proposal stage.

11 CCR 5499(a) holds for definition of 'detachable magazine' - one that requires a tool to remove.

Again, we'd all be in jail otherwise.

A BB renders a magazine nondetachable and renders the rifle "not capable of accepting a detachable magazine".

Remember, a magazine is neither detachable nor nondetachable on its own: the detachable vs. nondetachable status is solely determined by its relationship with the rifle, which in this case has a BB device.

'Constructive possession' does not apply to AWs due to expresio unius concept - thus the rifle must be regarded as it stands and not in consideration of any prospective modification into an illegal status.

That's the best part

Just makes you feel really good all over when you read stuff like this.

That scared me too. I just felt hours of AR building ideas and research begin to fall by the wayside, and that old feeling of wanting an AR but feeling helpless due to useless restrictions began to resurface. lol. The BB is like toilet paper, simple and bleepin genius.
