Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the ATF reportedly confiscating Rare Breed forced reset triggers?

The ATF is reportedly classifying these triggers as machine guns, which are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA). This classification is based on their assessment of the rate of fire, despite arguments that they still fire only one bullet per trigger pull.

What legal challenges are being faced by Rare Breed and its customers regarding these triggers?

Rare Breed initially faced a lawsuit from the ATF that was dismissed. An offshoot of the company filed a second lawsuit, which is ongoing. The ATF has also issued notices to law enforcement distinguishing between NFA and non-NFA triggers.

How might the ATF be obtaining information about owners of these triggers?

Speculation suggests the ATF could be acquiring owner information from shipping companies or credit card processors. This is similar to past instances where they obtained data from services like Stamps.com and Authorize.Net to target purchasers of Polymer 80 kits.

What are the arguments against classifying forced reset triggers as machine guns?

A primary argument is that these triggers, despite increasing the rate of fire, still discharge only one projectile per pull of the trigger. This aligns with the definition of a firearm, not a machine gun, which typically fires multiple rounds with a single pull.
