Frequently Asked Questions

What was the outcome of the Rare Breed triggers case against the ATF?

A federal judge vacated the ATF's ban on Rare Breed force reset triggers, ruling that the ATF violated the Administrative Procedures Act. This means the ATF cannot prosecute, demand surrenders, or interfere with the possession or sale of these triggers.

How does the law define a machine gun?

Legally, a machine gun is defined as a firearm that fires more than one shot by a single function of the trigger. The actions of the shooter's finger are not the determining factor in this legal definition.

What are the criteria for a component to be considered a firearm frame or receiver?

A component must meet four criteria: it must house the bolt, house the hammer, house the firing mechanism, and receive the barrel. If it does not fulfill all four functions, it is not classified as a firearm frame or receiver.

What is the significance of the Supreme Court removing Chevron deference?

The removal of Chevron deference means federal courts are no longer required to automatically defer to an administrative agency's interpretation of a statute. This allows courts to more critically review agency actions and potentially curb overreach.

Can individuals get back Rare Breed triggers confiscated by the ATF?

Yes, according to the judge's ruling in the Rare Breed case, the ATF must return any confiscated force reset triggers to their owners. This is part of the order vacating the ATF's previous ban.
