If those bastards win in court would it be against the law to own one. Know of a shop that has a few in stock as of Friday. Might be a good investment for the future, just thinking.

What shop and where. Asking for a friend.
 
I called both places and all triggers are gone. The proprietor said he had an order for 10 now for a couple weeks and if they come in he would let me know. He knew nothing about the problem with the ATF, I asked if they would be outlawed and he said not that he has heard of.

not super surprising
guys running gun shops often have better things to do than read internet forums all day looking for the latest thing to be mad about. also, depending on the type of store those "better things" might be sitting around talking about vietnam and how they still don't trust that mattel poodle shooter AR, son.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) decided that Florida company Rare Breed Trigger, LLC's special trigger is converting semi-automatic rifles into machine guns.

FRT-15 is a drop-in trigger for an AR-15 rifle and forces the trigger to be reset. The force reset dramatically speeds up the rate of fire of the rifle.



On July 26, the ATF sent a letter to Rare Breed stating the FRT-15 trigger has been classified as a machine gun under the National Firearms Act and that Rare Breed needs to cease all sales.



The ATF declared the Rare Breed trigger a mixture of parts designed and intended to convert a semi-automatic weapon into a machine gun. The ATF's investigation found that the trigger allows a firearm to "shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, with a single continuous pull of the trigger."

According to Baltimore-based The Machine Gun Nest, Rare Breed had to contact the ATF within five days of receiving the letter to develop a plan to address those so-called "machine guns" already distributed.

Rare Breed has challenged the ATF's decision and is set to explain how their trigger mechanism still fits the definition of a semi-automatic weapon.

The Machine Gun Nest said the ATF is going rogue again due to former President Trump setting dangerous precedence with the bump stock ban because the Biden administration could, at any moment, say an AR-15 is a machine gun.

"While I've handled one [FRT-15], I understand that they still require one pull of the trigger to function. The user pulls the trigger, the weapon fires, and the FRT-15 forces a reset of the trigger. If the user keeps continuous force on the trigger, it will fire again," The Truth About Guns' Travis Pike said.

Pike added, "This is not an automatic function by any means, and the weapon fires one shot per trigger pull."

In a video released by Rare Breeds, the company explains how the FRT-15 mechanism doesn't classify a rifle as a machine gun.



The Machine Gun Nest ends by saying, "When we have a law enforcement agency acting through executive fiat by just changing these rules and criminalizing people - it sets terrifying precedence - what if the CDC changed a rule that would criminalize you overnight? If you think this okay, then they haven't come for something important to you yet - and this is the precedent that is giving the government too much power."
 
Guess they are willing to die for it. God bless them.
 
This was never about the RBT15 to begin with IMO. They knew this going into it and it will change gun ownership for the good.
 
Awesome to hear that they filed suit already! I wonder if this prevents the ATF from trying to get a warrant and seizing product/machinery and customer records.
 
Tyranny needs to be met head on! These communist gun grabbers will just keep coming until everyone is unarmed. Take a look at Australia and see what their Govt is doing to the population. Their biggest tool now is a truckers strike....shame!

Bought a Tac-Con trigger a long time ago and is a very nice trigger, never got it to perform in the 3rd mode. Need to get it out and give her another try now that Rare Breed has quit shipping. Knew I should have ordered one a while back.
 
It sounds like the American Patriots need to send the ATF a cease and desist order and to stop infringing on our rights post haste!
 
I could only watch 3 minutes, he might be a good engineer, maybe a good business guy, but he can’t get to the point. I’d like to root for him, but he’s so scatterbrained that I’m not sure isn’t trying to order a big mac.

The last conversation I had with Lawrence was about 45 minutes to an hour. He is a good businessman, but I agree, he can be sporadic on his thoughts.
