[Spats McGee]

Hmmmm . . . .

It would classify as an assault weapon as any rifle that accepts a detachable magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, and would ban its sale or purchase. People who already own such weapons would be required to register them.

So The Mighty Squirrel Assassin (better known as the Ruger 10/22) is now an "assault weapon."

Other bills in the package passed by the Senate would have tightened additional laws, including banning a type of trigger known as a button.

What is this "type of trigger known as a button?" Is the author confused? Does she mean the bullet button?
