The Justice Department has effectively legalized a controversial rifle accessory that dramatically increases firing rate after a making new deal with its manufacturer, Rare Breed Triggers.
Known as a “forced-reset trigger,” the aftermarket modification was previously classified by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) as an illegal machine-gun conversion device. The deal now allows sales, and will oblige the federal government to return previously seized or surrendered devices.
Gun control advocates have said that the decision will worsen gun violence. “The Trump administration has just effectively legalized machine guns,” Vanessa Gonzalez of GIFFORDS, a leading gun-control group, told Reuters. “Lives will be lost because of his actions.”
