Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main legal issue concerning Rare Breed Triggers and the ATF?

The core issue is the ATF's redefinition of a machine gun, moving from 'single function of the trigger' to 'single pull of the trigger and analogous motions,' which they apply to Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs) like those made by Rare Breed.

How did the ATF allegedly obtain customer data from Rare Breed Triggers?

The ATF reportedly obtained shipping records from USPS without a warrant and served a subpoena on UPS for records. While court orders aim to seal these, covert sharing is suspected.

What is the significance of the new lawsuit filed in the Northern District of Texas?

This district has a history of ruling against the ATF in significant cases. The lawsuit, National Association of Gun Rights vs. Garland, seeks an injunction against the ATF's actions, strategically leveraging this favorable legal environment.

What is the ATF's controversial interpretation of 'constant rearward pressure' in relation to firearms?

The ATF allegedly uses 'constant rearward pressure' as a criterion to define a machine gun, suggesting that skilled shooters who maintain such pressure are operating machine guns, a definition criticized as legally unsound and violating the APA.
