Will the use of a Bullet Button get around NY's AWB? I hate this fucking state!

The "two-feature" test bans any gun that is semi-automatic, has
a detachable magazine (in the case of pistols and rifles), and
possesses two features that are commonly associated with military
weapons. The "one-feature" test would ban semi-automatic guns with
detachable magazines that possess one feature commonly associated
with military weapons. This section also adds to the list of
"features" that characterize a banned weapon.

With 7 rds?

im sure in ny your going to be arrested anyways, they know that your probably legal but they wil fuck with you  just to fight it out in court.....

i think "maybe" but you can't have a mag that takes more than 7 rounds.

This is going to make rapid prone interesting

BB was made for CA's ban. New York's 1 test would require featureless w/ a button it seems.

probably not....California's law IIRC Specifically states that a magazine is NOT "Detachable" if it requires the use of a "Tool" to remove...NY statute has no such provision..detachable is Detachable..NJ is the same way

Wrong, you can have a 10 round mag but ONLY put 7 rounds in it

This and I mentioned yesterday that Sacramento is trying to work legislation to get this changed and outlaw BB.

Would it depend on what NY defines as "detachable"? Didn't see anything in this piece of shit bill.

What the Sam Hell is a Bullet Button???

Well, theoretically then, EVERY rifle that can hold more than 1 round has a "detachable" magazine.  Might require a lot of work and tools to remove them, but they are all detachable, from tube-fed rimfires down to M1 Garands, etc...

It's a replacement for the standard mag release button which requires a "tool" to release.  Requiring a "tool" makes it by law a "fixed magazine" rather than a detachable magazine.  The "tool" is usually the bullet end of a .223 / 5.56 cartridge, hence "bullet button"

Bingo.  Don't thnk that fact hasn't escaped the mind of gun-banners.  It's an incremental step to "toughen existing laws" down the road.

I have a feeling that unless CA Republicans can kill these in committee like they did last year, that they'll go on to pass easily due to the Sandy Hook and NY momentum.

Californian's "sort of" got around the AW ban by buying AR's (and other rifle types) that were not explicitly named in the bill.  For example, you cannot have a Colt Sporter AR15 no matter what.  However, you can have a Colt LE6920 as long as the mag catch was replaced with one that has a slightly recessed button in it so that you have to use a hex key or the tip of a bullet to drop the mag.

Just get a belt fed upper. The law says nothng about belts.

Hmm, I'll have to read the text.  I'm pretty sure that they used language such that a belt over 7 rounds would constitute a feeding device of equivalent purpose to a magazine and ban it that way.  That's what CA did.  If it doesn't their State Police or DOJ will just issue a finding or declaration that belts are the same as magazines for legal purposes.

Do a YouTube search for the best example. That's what I had to do.

i may be wrong but i think we have three options.....Bullet button with any features but can only have a 5 mag.....featureless with preban 10(only seven loaded)......or register and have our weapons taken by the state when we die!

What do you guys think?

It's a device that clever Americans in California use to comply with the law. It covers the magazine release so that the mag cannot be released without the use of a tool approximatey ".223 in diameter to fit through a hole in a guard covering the button. They have been through the courts on this and they meet the legal definition of a "tool" to release the magazine. These Americans should be commended in their efforts to satisfy legal requirements.

I'm not even sure bulleit bourbon is still legal in NY after yesterday :-\

It REALLY pissed of the asshats in Sacramento like Yee.

so are SKS's on in NY?

Sounds like you can put one evil feature on it - bayo lug or folding stock?

The whole thing will prob get blown up in court anyway - but still a mess.....

Red

You can't buy them anymore though. The 10rd mags you own are grandfathered.
