its from the top shot show and they still screw it up

on a AR rifle the guy shows the select switch not the eject button

the anti's screwed up but want to stop all ejectable mag fed weapons

tube feeds and fixed box mags ok

but they'll be next , folks unless you fight every single day the anti take inch by inch

look at Oz , every day we sat back and said they cant do that , they did

until we fought back and are keeping it up

get loud , be proud

shoot a liberal

What would you expect from California? They elect such nut cases as Maxine Waters, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer. The entire state should be deeded to Mexico. The only problem would be Mexico more than likely would not want it due to the illegals and criminals they dumped on us and who would want the all the liberal actors in Hollywood?

It is rather sad, it is a beautiful state but I cant stand the gun laws and idiotic progressives. I only live here because I go to college for free in CA. I cant wait to move. But while I live here, I only elect pro gun politicians. I don't know who would want to buy an AR with a 10 rd magazine and bullet button anyway.. they have already effectively rendered it useless.

Did you all ever hear the adage "As California goes, so goes the nation"? As far back as I can remember it 's seemed as if whatever trend is started in California ends up spreading to the rest of us eventually. It may take a few years, but it seems inevitable.

Time for all the gun manufacturers to only sell guns that civilians can own to all California's law enforcement agencies, a la like Ronnie Barrett did with the .50.

If it's good enough for the civilians, then it should be good enough for law enforcement.

Thankfully, Arizona seems to put THAT old saw to bed. In fact, Cali just passed an Anti-AZ bill, the opposite of our SB 1070 immigration law. Their new one requires officers to IGNORE federal calls for assistance in arresting non violent illegal invaders. Interesting. Cali HATES Arizona with our pro American, pro freedom, anti illegal invader stance. Our Constitutional Carry is just the icing on the cake.

Yep, Arizona has a lot of appeal to me, not only for the pro liberty feistiness of it's citizens, but the fact that it's one of the most beatiful states I've ever seen. If I wasn't afraid the temps might be too much for me and the rattlers, I could see myself relocating. Making a move when you don't have any friends or family where your going, can be hard though.

Umm..Well of course you do know that many Arizonans are banking on the belief that someday, maybe very soon, Arizona WILL have an ocean.

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/201...rnia-gun-laws/
Brian Normandy is an instructor at Jackson Arms. “As long as we don’t have a detachable magazine in it, it’s actually a legal firearm,” Normandy said.

Other states allow people to use their finger to pop out the magazine and quickly reload. It’s called a detachable magazine, and in California, its use in combination with other features such as a telescoping stock or pistol grip is illegal.

The intent is to slow down the process of reloading the weapon. But many target shooters don’t like the reloading hassle. “For me to use this on the range, I would have to open up the receiver and top load it,” said Normandy.

To get around this, gun manufacturers are selling firearms to Californians with what is called a “bullet button.”

The user uses the tip of a bullet to release the empty magazine and pop in a new one. The button doesn’t work with one’s finger, so the magazine is considered “fixed.”

That makes it an assault rifle that everyone is calling “California legal.”

Let 'em... We'll see that their crime rate increases and the amount of "illegally-owned" weapons will increase among law breakers. It's a simple case study in stupidity.

I want to go on record as NEVER voting for those San Francisco nut-cases, and Maxine is nothing but a loud mouth Compton thug.

They have fixed it so I, as a resident of CA, cannot purchase a firearm in any other state, even if I own a residence there, as long as I pay taxes in California.

I'm moving as soon as I retire, even though I was born here.

California shooters need to build a really strong gun lobby, I'm sure there's enough of you. At some point, no matter where we live, we all will need to either stand up to these politicians or sit down and shut up. The way I see it, too many good men have died defending our constitution to allow a few ass holes to tear it up.

ponycar, you have it in a nutshell - all these new criminals will owe fines, so this move will help fuel Cali's insatiable debt monster.
Wonder what would happen if all the law abiding California gun owners left, as was suggested some time ago by a Cali politician. That's probably at least 75% of the productive individuals in the state. He'd have nobody to tax to provide his salary - politicians on the dole. Illegals would take over and we'd have the Nation of California...that would demand immediate international aid.

A bullet button is a device used on AR-15 and AK style rifles in that state that have to use a tool of some sort (The bullet) to release the mag. On the AR it looks just like the regular mag release we get to have in the free world except it has a hole in the center big enough for you to stick the tip of a bullet in to it to release the mag. Not sure why it is that way but it is.

JLA TX does not have Laxed gun laws. Calif has Head up their ass politicians. The state is controlled by LA, SF, Berkly, San Diego and any other welfair intensely populated area. The Greens run rampent like rabid dogs.
That is why I left in 2005 like a jackrabbit.
