The actual text of the law is on Rare Breed's side, but the intent of the law is on the ATF's side. The law clearly says "single action of the trigger," not "single action of the finger." The forced reset trigger does not fire multiple shots with a single action. It only fires one shot per action of the trigger. The thing is that it forces the action of the trigger on its own.
Yeah, this scares me. I hope they don't fight it in court right now, and just wait for a more friendly regime. A court ruling that permits the ATF to divine the subjective intent of a manufacturer when determining if a gun is a machine gun has the potential to be abused beyond the wettest dream of a gun grabber.
"Your semi automatic rifle was intentionally designed to be fired very fast like a machine gun, therefore they are de facto machine guns".
Any gun restrictions are bad, but this is just too dangerous to push.
To me it's the same as a bump stock, but in trigger form. So like they did with the bump stock they will likely go all over the map again to end up back at zero.
It's funny, you can buy a hundred of no problem, but if you bought a FRT you can start worrying about a knock on your door.
