Senate Bill 249 actually refers to the "bullet button", classifying it as a regular removable magazine and hence any weapon that has one along with any "evil" features (e.g. a pistol grip) would be classified as an "assault weapon" and become illegal. So basically, if this passed the only way that you could have an AR-15 patter rifle would be for it to be featureless, lacking a pistol grip, folding stock, flash hider or forward pistol grip.
Just a random though, has anyone ever come up with an AR-15 upper receiver that could be reloaded with stripper clips through the top? Not only would this be legal to have with any features (no detachable magazine) I think it would be pretty cool in a retro sort of way.
