Truly sorry for you, but I cannot conceive how someone could not anticipate this in occupied territory, much less remain there (even with family, employment, etc).

My sentiments exactly. They've been outspoken about their beliefs for a long time. I can't fathom how people get surprised by California being liberal.

Bullet button loophole? Are they serious? A bullet button is designed for "maximum destruction of human life"?

Yet another reason to never got to California and never spend a dime there.

--------------------
SB 880

Studies show that states with the toughest gun laws have the lowest rates of gun-related deaths. While California has led the nation in prohibiting the ownership of military-style assault weapons with detachable ammunition magazines, gun manufacturers are exploiting the “bullet button loophole” to create “California compliant” assault weapons.

For years, gun owners have been able to circumvent California’s assault weapon laws by using a small tool to quickly eject and reload ammunition magazines. Bullet button-equipped weapons are functionally the same as illegal assault weapons, but are not included in the prohibition because a tool is required to release the ammunition magazine, and it cannot technically be released by hand.

These types of modifications have no legitimate use for sport hunters or competitive shooters. Bullet button-equipped weapons are designed only to facilitate the maximum destruction of human life. Such weapons have been used in a number of recent gun attacks including the recent terrorist attack in Orlando that killed 49, and in San Bernardino that left 14 Californians dead and 21 injured.

SB 880 (Hall/Glazer) closes the bullet button loophole by redefining assault weapons to include military-style semi-automatic firearms that do not have a fixed ammunition magazine, requiring such weapons to be registered with the Department of Justice (DOJ), and prohibiting the future sale, purchase or possession of such weapons in California.

This bill clarifies the definition of assault weapons and provides the DOJ the authority to bring existing regulations into conformity with the original intent of California’s Assault Weapon Ban. Absent this bill, the assault weapon ban is severely weakened, and these types of military-style firearms will continue to proliferate on our streets and in our neighborhoods.

I am afraid the real problem is this shit is spreading all over the country like cancer. Pretty soon there is not gonna be any state to escape to.

California needs to burn, very very badly.

The only gun legislation that's passed in this state over the eight years I've lived here has all been pro-gun. We're running out of gun laws to repeal.

Anyone want to summarize what these laws mean for someone who occasionally visits the state in question?

Don't go.

If you go, don't take anything that looks scary or can hold lots of ammunition.
