News / Politics / Activism I found this pretty comical
I know California has nothing to do with us, but considering we both suffer from some pretty silly gun laws I figured I’d share for the topic of discussion. I recently found out California does not allow detachable mags for ar15’s, anything considered “tacticool” must have to remove the action in order to reload 🤣🤣

Say what you want about Canadian gun laws, but at least we don't have that fixed magazine bs. That shit is diabolical.

u/jaredw6697 May 04 '26
The m1 garand is only allowed more then 5 rounds due to being an internal mag

u/LordRaizer May 04 '26
Yeah but you don't have to disassemble the M1 Garand to insert another enbloc clip

u/Red_Shrinp556 May 04 '26
Nobody uses fixed mag solutions in California. Just remove the adjustable stock and pistol grip and you can have detachable mags.

Kind of. It's permitted due to being a WWII-era design, and it's not really possible to pin the enblocs due to the design of the firearm.

Yet.... I'm still not convinced that won't eventually be announced. They've been talking about it for years. I just hope my Mk15 gets here before that!

Dont give em any ideas.
I mean, anything that is mag fed was one of the basis for the semi-auto ban we have now

I know, but it shouldn't. Literally means literal. Use 'fucking' if emphasis is needed.

As usual there are workarounds. The "requires dismantling the action to remove" is as usual some nonsense technical stuff that has somewhat been circumvented. The action just has to be cracked as minimal as possible.

I never understood how the Republicans and their supreme court let this fly. All of the bs gun restrictions in the US could be struck down for being against the 2A in a day. Just shows how even in the US politicians aren't on our side.

u/guestpassonly May 04 '26
yeah its funny how they could have EVERYTHING they want in terms of gun laws RIGHT NOW...
yet are focused on all the wrong things right now

u/VanillaHighlights May 04 '26
At least we can own our tiny little wrist-breaker 12 guages.
The one thing we have over most Americans.

u/HappyCan7250 May 04 '26
And shipping guns directly to your door is pretty sweet too honestly. That is one of the few things I love about our laws.

u/EliteDuck May 04 '26 edited May 08 '26
Getting pre-authorized in 5 year increments (tied to license renewal) instead of getting a background check and waiting period for every purchase is nice as well.

u/HappyCan7250 May 04 '26
That's actually a valid point, Canada will basically give a license to any and all law abiding citizens (not even citizens, even student visa holders can get them). In Canada, even felons can get a firearms license if enough time has passed, I've heard of several cases, whereas in the US, a single felony is a blanket lifetime ban I believe. I don't necessarily think someone who may have screwed up in their 20s once, should never be able to experience hunting at the age of 35 or 40, for example, or be denied means of protection if out deep in the bush.
There are aspects of the Canadian system that I prefer, but many aspects of the US system as well. In a perfect world, we would have a hybrid blend of our laws and US laws.

who are pretty damn useless in terms of functionality...

u/VanillaHighlights May 04 '26
Sure, but they're fun as fuck.
Who gives a shit if they're functional? Half of us shoot at paper down a range anyways.

u/guestpassonly May 05 '26
I get that not every gun has to have a serious purpose
And you're right, i do way more target shooting than actual hunting.
But lil wrist-breakers seem more of a liability than anything

The difference between us and California is practically no gun owner in California follows any of these laws

The fin that's made out of kydex that wraps around the pistol grip and is removable with two screws? You honestly think any of them keep it on? Obviously what you see on YouTube videos is following laws. they're not going to post shit to incriminate themselves

u/challengergaren May 04 '26
You should see how you have to reload an AK or an MP5 there, it's comical how goofy it is.

I absolutely love how pretty much immediately after the laws have changed someone has a workaround.

u/kookiemaster May 04 '26
I am not surprised. Worked briefly in regulatory stuff in another context (trade) and there were literally lawyers making a living finding workaround and loopholes in any new regulation the government came up with. It was an eternal cycle of changing regulation, products being developed to go around them, then new regulation.

If you're taking AI answers as gospel, you might want to reconsider your life choices.
Do the research yourself. Look at the laws which are easily accessible.

To be fair, would you want to keep your laws the way they are now, or substitute them for Californias, cause I think I know what I would choose.

Yeah I saw a video of some guy loading his AR and was like what the crud is going here.😂 weird ass mags. Absolutely insane that this is going on in the states. My hope is dwindling for us.

u/MasterScore8739 May 04 '26
If anyone wants a good laugh, look up some of their solutions.
So far my favourite is basically a side loading AR. Instead of the magazine coming off, you essentially use a stripper clip through the ejection port the same way you’d load an SKS.
