Yet another idiotic gun control scheme...

Anyone who buys at least 1,000 rounds would now effectively be a criminal.

And I couldn't help but facepalm at this part.

State Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, recently proposed separate gun-control legislation, Senate Bill 249, to ban devices enabling magazines of military-style rifles to be reloaded so quickly that semiautomatic guns can be fired almost like assault weapons.

Seriously?

Who does they think we are, a nation of Flashes?

Because a spree shooter is actually going to carry around 6,000 rounds let alone fire them........right

It's Komiefornia so what do you expect. the average IQ of the majority of the legislation isn't to my local temperature.

The folks from San Fransisco are even worse than average as they haven't met a liberal agenda they didn't back 100%.

So they want to make any sort of speed-loader illegal then, because it apparently ups the rate of fire of the weapon?

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.

Wouldn't it just be easier to just have a completely different rifle then?

Probably, if I lived in CA and wanted a .223 would probably just go for something like the Kel Tec SU-16CA (featureless so can have a regular detachable magazine without a bullet button). However, a lot of people will go to any lengths to use an AR-15 pattern gun. A stripper clip compatible upper would have the advantage that you could use AR-15 lowers (with some kind of fixed magazine release so the mag wasn't readily removable), barrels, handguards, grips and stocks. Mounting optics would be a bit of an issue though. Anyway, I assume it is impossible or else someone would have probably already done it.

You don't need to remind me, hence the title of this thread. These are the same people who outlawed .50 cal rifles based solely on the scene in ''SWAT'' when Jeremy Renner shot down the LAPD chopper with one, after all.

Really? Is that really the reason? Were .50 cal rifles Cali-legal before that movie?
