| I actually do not know how much I have into it but I was able to get hooked up pretty good by JP and some of the other stuff I bought. Cost was not an issue when I built it. I dont want to total it up. Since I used slush fund money and had the parts shipped to my office out of the watchful eye as the one known as "The Wife" lolz |

If the gun was loaded and someone was shooting that would be an issue. The pics were to show what I built. These are not active shooting pics with loaded mags. Thank you for your concern

Do you really think CA will see it like that? im not trying to sound like an ass, really it is a nice looking rifle. I just dont think it is smart to even acknowledge on the web that you have a device for getting around their laws, let alone post pics of it….. Maybe its fine just in pics….IDK…. you should know your states laws the better then me….. |

I know my states laws look at my screen name. I dont know what that means……But sure you do…… I think this about says it all regarding Magnetic BB override devices. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a re-post of Sean Brady's (of Michel & Associates, NRA/CRPA CA legal team) Nov 2009 post regarding "Magnetic BulletButton" devices --------------------------------------------------------------------- In response to the many questions surrounding the legality of “magnetic bullet buttons,” we have conducted research on the matter and produced a memorandum explaining the legal ramifications of their use. Our findings and analysis are available at: <<invalid link>> (http://www.calgunlaws.com/images/stories/Docs/aw%20weapons%20modifications%20memo.pdf) We have made the memorandum a public document on www.calgunlaws.com (http://www.calgunlaws.com/), [CAN'T FIND] which means you do not have to register in order to read it. However, if you want to receive future alerts of similar memoranda or current legal matters our office is undertaking, we encourage you to register. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Copy is at http://gs2ac.com/flyers/2009/20091223awweaponsmodificationsmemo.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------- Extracted key text: . . . "Police are frankly not likely to accept that position and are likely to make an arrest and let prosecutors decide how to proceed. As a practical matter, prosecutors and the criminal court judges will likely be hard to sway. This advisory should serve to warn gun owners of the dangers of engaging in this practice, and provide ways to minimize potential legal liability. B. Magnetic “Tools” .... In some instances, other items have been used instead of a bullet tip to depress the inner button, and this is where potential liability lies. An increasingly used practice is to use a replacement or extension button (a “Wonder Wrench”), or magnetic device (a “AR Mag Magnet”), instead of a bullet tip to depress the inner button. These buttons and magnets are typically narrow enough to depress the inner button and release the magazine. Also, in the case of magnets, the “tool” now can stay magnetically attached to the inner metal button, even during and after firing of firearm. In essence, this device extends the magazine release button so it can be operated by the push of a finger while attached. . . . But when the owner leaves the “tool” within the “bullet button” device or attached to the firearm, the operator can then use the “bullet button” and “tool” exactly as he or she would use the standard magazine release mechanism that came originally equipped to the firearm. Recently, an individual was prosecuted for a violation of California Penal Code section 12280(b), possession of an “assault weapon” because he possessed a rifle that was: semiautomatic; centerfire; with an attached “bullet button” and magnet (the magnet was placed within the “bullet button”); a pistol grip; and collapsible stock. The magnet had allegedly been left within the “bullet button” when the firearm was seized by law enforcement. It was California Department of Justice’s opinion that as configured the rifle still had the “capacity to accept a detachable magazine.” Consequently, the rifle was considered an illegal “Category 3" firearm being semi-automatic, centerfire, with the capacity to accept a detachable magazine, a pistol grip, and collapsible stock. Fortunately, a charge for manufacturing an “assault weapon” (a straight felony) was not filed. But a creative prosecutor could have with possible success. IV. CONCLUSION Our office strongly cautions against the practice of leaving the “tool” within or attached to the magazine releasing device (i.e., the bullet button), or even just attached to the rifle. Doing so, either temporarily or permanently, will likely subject the individual to felony criminal prosecution for possessing an “assault weapon” and potentially even for manufacturing an “assault weapon.” Although an argument can be made that despite leaving the “tool” on the firearm, the firearm still requires the “tool” to release the magazine, we do not need or want to test this argument in a criminal court, and neither should you. . . . Other more significant challenges to California’s “assault weapon” statutes are pending, and challenges to “assault weapon” laws in other parts of the country are ongoing and active. After the tool is used to release a magazine, the tool should be removed from the firearm. DO NOT ever leave the tool attached to the firearm. Leaving the tool attached to the firearm may result in felony criminal prosecution. Thats just like me putting a flash hider on for pics and saying its cool, Ill take it off when I go to the range….. |
