:rofllol People who know guns will find it very funny. Ruger Mini-14's which all versions are very lethally able to fire 30 round a minute as fast as you can change magazines are still legal unless they have a pistol grip on them. That will save Americans! Non-gun people writing gun laws.

You do have to laugh at the Mini 14 inclusion in the list.
FYI I now know what is a "bullet button"
And I wonder if my Thompson Center Omega will be banned, after all it does have a thumb hole stock? If this passes as is, you might not be able to give your favorite "military style" weapon to you children or grand kids.

It's a replacement for the magazine release that allows a standard AR to pass California's "tough" gun laws. It takes the mag release from something that can be manipulated by the hand alone to something that requires a tool, such as the pointy end of a bullet (hence the name), to release the magazine from the weapon. It is essentially a work around the California law that says the magazine must be affixed to the weapon. Since you need a "tool" to release the magazine, it isn't "technically" a gun which accepts detachable magazines.

I thought it fell in the lake.
I was fishing last fall and caught it on a dry fly.
That's the thing about focusing attention on the wrong thing. All it does is get the entrepreneurial spirit going and making money for the first person who can demonstrate that they are more clever than a legislative branch could ever hope to be.
The best thing about the "bullet button"? It can be done without any modification to a standard lower, which means that the manufacturers don't have to come up with a California specific lower and it is 100% reversible should the California owner decide to move to a more reasonable State or to sell the weapon to an out of State buyer. Of course it also means that the criminal element can simply replace the "bullet button" with a standard mag release prior to conducting their extralegal activities too; but then we all know that the "assault weapon" and "high capacity magazine" bans have zero to do with enhancing the safety of anyone to begin with anyway.
More ingenuity? Semi-Auto AR-15's are banned in the UK, so they make a version that you can fire but you have to reload it, like a pump action shotgun.
Or in Mexico, military calibers are banned, so the civvies buy the same guns with a more powerful caliber.
