They've already developed devices such as the "bullet button" or "magazine magnet"....... to bypass the "locked" magazine button. These are legal in CA as long as they "don't remain on the rifle".

The great thing about the magnetic version........ is you can leave it on the rifle .... OR take it off (if you think the popo might be inspecting your gatt).

Or .......they can just switch to a regular magazine release in about a minute. (Illegal in CA)
