    How does it make them compliant?

    In 2000, California law changed to prohibit quick detachable magazines on certain semi-automatic weapons where the magazine could be released by manipulating a button or lever. The intent was to eliminate firearms that could be quickly reloaded or at least greatly frustrate the reloading process.

    With this set-up, the magazine is permanently fixed to the weapon and is loaded via the side gate.

    Another such method was a "bullet button," a device that replaces the magazine release on a firearm wherein the magazine is fixed in place until a catch is releases by depressing the catch with the tip of a bullet. Another was magnetic locks which required a magnet to pull out the magazine catch. In 2017 both of those were no longer legal due to changes in the law.

    CA has implemented a myriad of such ridiculous laws over the years, and it's always fun to see how companies there figure out ways to circumvent them!

    And then the commies in power in CA make a law against the work around. About 15 years ago you could have an AR with a detachable mag. But the mag release had to be recessed and was called the bullet button. But then they outlawed all detachable mags.
