The original Bullet Button. (Photo: Bullet Button)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris and Assemblyman David Chiu have introduced new legislation in California that would expand the Assault Weapons Control Act, or AWCA, to block the use of bullet buttons<\/a> and severely restrict semi-automatic rifle ownership.<\/p>\n

The proposed legislation would extend the ban to include all centerfire semi-automatic rifles that are capable of using a detachable magazine, even when the magazines require a tool to remove. Anyone already in possession of rifles with bullet buttons or other locks will have to register their firearms with the state as \u201cassault weapons.\u201d They\u2019re calling it the \u201cbullet button loophole.\u201d<\/p>\n

The text of the A.B. 1663 bill can be read here (.pdf)<\/a>\u00a0and A.B. 1664 is available here (.pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Attorney General\u2019s office specifically seeks to ban \u201cmore technologically-advanced\u201d rifles, arguing that these firearms pose a risk to the public, citing mass shootings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must close the loopholes in our assault weapons ban so that guns like the ones used in San Bernardino, Newtown, and Aurora cannot be bought legally in our state,\u201d said Chiu (D-San Francisco) in the A.G.\u2019s official press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDetachable magazines cost lives, and it is more important to save lives during future mass shootings than to be able to reload assault weapons in the blink of an eye,” continued Chiu. “I appreciate the sponsorship by Attorney General Harris and look forward to working this year with my colleagues and the Governor\u2019s office on this and other efforts to prevent gun violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

A bullet button is a mechanical lock that prevent detachable magazines from releasing without a key or other tool\u2014including the tip of a bullet\u2014effectively converting a detachable magazine into a fixed magazine.<\/p>\n

Bullet buttons and other similar devices are a popular and cost-effective way for Californians to make their modern rifles compliant with existing state law.<\/p>\n

Harris called the ban \u201ccommon sense\u201d gun control.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe devastation wrought by gun violence on innocent victims, children and families in this country is an international embarrassment,\u201d said Harris. \u201cThis is a common sense solution that closes a dangerous loophole in California\u2019s assault weapons ban. We simply must do everything we can to keep dangerous, high capacity firearms off of our streets and out of our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The California-based Firearms Policy Coalition has already issued a statement<\/a> saying that they will fight the A.G.\u2019s office on the proposed bullet button ban.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssembly Bill 1663 is yet another misguided attack on the civil rights of law-abiding Californians,\u201d said Combs, President of Firearms Policy Coalition. \u201cIn the wake of a deadly terrorist attack on our soil, fringe San Francisco elitists like Assemblyman Chiu and Attorney General Harris would rather put innocent people in jail than face up to their own failed policies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[The] Firearms Policy Coalition and our members will fiercely oppose A.B. 1664\u00a0throughout the legislative process,\u201d added combs. \u201cWe\u2019re going to defend the people\u2019s fundamental, individual Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms at all costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Combs argued that the bills are politically motivated, not a safety issue<\/a>. \u201cSemi-automatic firearms of the types AB 1664 seeks to regulate are used in so few crimes that they barely register on crime statistics,\u201d said Combs. \u201cA.B. 1664 is not a public safety bill, it\u2019s a public control bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that in California and nation-wide rifles are very rarely used in the commission of a\u00a0crime. Even the New York Times has argued against \u201cAssault Weapons\u201d bans<\/a>, pointing out that all rifles combined contributed to an insignificant percent of all gun crimes.<\/p>\n

The Firearms Policy Coalition has already set up a petition to raise support in opposition to the proposed bills here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The NRA-ILA has also issued a statement saying<\/a>, \u201cThese bills are detrimental to the Golden State\u2019s law-abiding gun owners, which number in the hundreds of thousands.\u00a0 \u00a0They would turn legally-owned semi-automatic firearms into what California law defines as an \u2018assault weapon.\u2019 \u00a0These same firearms are used in hunting, competitive shooting and for general legal use throughout the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2013, California Governor Jerry Brown (D) vetoed a similar bill<\/a> that sought to ban semi-automatic rifles entirely. Brown said that the bill went too far and would not have an effect on crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
