"CBS 5 Went Undercover"

Why? To gin up hysteria over a manufactured "loophole"? [Read]

California gun owners have already bent over to such ridiculous lengths that they tolerate insults like "bullet buttons."  As Brian Puckett wrote years back:
I sometimes wonder whether the socialists will issue an edict requiring all firearms to have a pink ribbon tied to the barrel, just to get a belly laugh as the panicked descendants of once-proud American patriots scurry to comply.
Some of us tried to show a different approach by example, but that was not very well received by those who prefer being more "reasonable."

I've emailed the gun show proprietors and asked them if they post signs prohibiting unauthorized photographs and recording of patrons and dealers.  I also note the covert video includes audio, and California appears to be a two-party consent state, which raises the question of whether or not our intrepid "undercover reporters" were the only lawbreakers in the room--funny, though, how they choose not to do covert ops against the population causing all the "gun" problems. 

Anyone familiar with the law there who can give an authoritative interpretation of this, please chime in and educate us.

Comment I left with CBS San Francisco:

California's claims of being a forward thinking, progressive, home of cutting edge technology state are laughable when viewed with any degree of logical thought.

There is no "bullet button" loophole. Firearm manufacturers developed the firearms in question specifically in order to comply with California's idiotic non-detachable magazine statute. The law requires that a tool must be used in order to remove a magazine from a firearm. That's what the anti-gun crowd wanted and that’s exactly what the industry gave them, and now they want to complain. There’s no pleasing these people. Barrett had the right idea … just get out of California and refuse to do business of any kind with the state or any political subdivision of the state until the various governing bodies understand that their citizens have the same unalienable rights that they claim for themselves.

Ok, California v. Gibbons makes the video taping they did at the gun show a crime, but they're not gonna get fined for it. Funny how that works when it's something that follows The Narrative.

I just really found it hard to take it serious when they're referring to every magazine locking device as a Bullet Button (which is a trade name), and trying to state that "firearm manufacturers" are behind it.

No. You know why these things are popular in California? Because we shooters have to play your bullshit games to avoid jail time so that you idiots can "feel safer" rather than BE safer.

I hate this state.
