Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATF's current stance on FRT triggers?

The ATF has recently classified FRT (Forced Reset Trigger) devices as machine guns. This classification has led to ATF agents conducting door-to-door visits to confiscate these items from individuals who purchased them, often identified through online sales records.

What is the recommended legal response when the ATF comes to your door for confiscation?

The recommended legal response is to invoke your Fifth Amendment rights. State clearly, 'I will not answer any questions,' 'I would like to contact my lawyer,' and 'I am not going to turn anything over.' Do not engage in further conversation or admit possession.

Can the ATF confiscate items without a warrant?

If ATF agents arrive at your door without a warrant, you have the right to refuse entry and end the conversation. Do not open the door or allow them to see anything that could be used against you. If you are already outside, politely state you have no comment and wish to speak with a lawyer, then disengage.

Does the ATF have the authority to make laws?

No, the ATF does not have the authority to create laws. That power is constitutionally reserved for Congress. The ATF's role is to enforce laws that are already established on the books.
