Lawrence DeMonico, President of Rare Breed Firearms, details the legal battle against the ATF regarding the FRT-15 trigger. The company sued the ATF for violating due process by closing the administrative record prematurely. Despite a judge's initial allowance for amendment, the ATF continued to deny the company's opportunity to submit evidence. The case was ultimately dismissed due to a procedural filing error. Rare Breed is preparing a new lawsuit focusing on tortious interference due to the ATF's alleged intentional misclassification of their product.
This interview with Lawrence Demonico, President of Rare Breed Triggers, details the legal challenges surrounding their FRT-15 forced reset trigger. Demonico explains the technical operation of the FRT-15, differentiating it from a machine gun, and discusses the ATF's classification of the trigger as a machine gun. The conversation highlights the ongoing litigation, the alleged bad-faith assembly of the administrative record by the ATF, and the company's commitment to fighting the classification based on legal and factual grounds.
