“According to prosecutors, Rare Breed⟳ Triggers, LLC and Rare Breed⟳ Firearms, LLC, and their owners Lawrence DeMonico and Kevin Maxwell, knew that FRT-15s made a weapon qualify⟳ as machine guns under federal law. […] “Yet Defendants’ deliberate decision to bypass that process⟳ with the FRT-15,” Morrison wrote, “indicates that Defendants declined to seek⟳ ATF classification of the FRT-15 and instead simply assure RBT’s customers that the device was ‘legal’ precisely because they knew that allowing ATF to examine⟳ their device before bringing it to market might kill⟳ their proverbial golden goose.””

“Forced-reset triggers (FRT) allow⟳ a semi-automatic rifle to be fired at an increased rate by automatically resetting the trigger after each shot. […] The DOJ also said the settlement includes “agreed-upon conditions” concerning public safety with respect⟳ to FRTs, including that Rare Breed⟳ will not develop⟳ or design⟳ FRTs for use⟳ in any pistol and will enforce its patents.”
