‘Bullet Button’ Used To Get Around California Gun Laws

[sarisataka]

42. No, compliance...

if the law says you need a tool then go out and discover a better tool you have not gone around the law.

This is the fruit of the willful ignorance of the controllers. By whipping off some half assed law that has no real effect then complaining "that wasn't what we meant'.
If the purpose of this law is to make the guns even less appealing to criminals it will probably work. Criminals don't often carry magnets, at least that I am aware of, so would not be able to remove the magazine...

If I was a paranoid person I would say it is not willful ignorance but a tactic. Draft laws that will not reach the desired level of control, complain about evil gun owners finding loopholes and then argue for stricter gun control. Repeat until everything is banned.

Good thing no controls have ever claimed they want to ban guns
