This video details the ATF's alleged defiance of a federal court order mandating the return of forced reset triggers (FRTs), specifically the FRT-15 and Wide Open Trigger models.

The court ruled that the ATF unlawfully exceeded its authority by classifying forced reset triggers (FRTs) and wide-open triggers (WOTs) as machine guns. The ruling emphasizes that the NFA's definition of a machine gun hinges on the mechanical function of the trigger, not user action, and that FRTs do not meet this definition.

The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) is challenging this determination in court.
