Is a “bullet button” related to “the thing that goes up”??? I thought I was reasonably informed on firearms terminology but those two just escape me. Can somebody please translate?

A “bullet button” is a magazine release that uses the tip of a bullet (instead of your fingertip) to release the magazine. It gets around California’s ban on detachable magazines because it requires a “tool.”

I have seen an alternative that works differently, and will get around this ban.

I love the American spirit of innovation to overcome obstacles.

Last year at a Gun Show in Southern California, I heard that the Politicos were upset about the invention of “Bullet Buttons”, insisting that the Magazine should never be detached from the Rifle.

Instead, the “intention” of the TOOL requirement was to treat the Magazine as any other part of the Gun AND requiring that it be top loaded with the Magazine attached rather than removed, loaded and reinstalled.

One guy said that if the Magazine wasn’t attached to the Rifle, you could be committing a crime. That made me go WTF?

Again, this was just some people talking amongst themselves at a Gun Show, or as Liberals see it, a Terrorist Cell making plans to unseat the Dear Leader and his Royal Court
