The ATF is Trying To Use After Market Trigger To Expand The Definition of A Machine Gun

About this video

Colion Noir interviews the president of Rare Breed Firearms about the ATF’s cease-and-desist order against their FRT trigger. Colion presents the company’s argument that their trigger is mechanically semi-automatic (one round per pull) and therefore legal, while the ATF claims it meets the definition of a machine gun. Colion explores the company president’s concerns about the ATF reinterpreting laws without Congressional authority and denying the company due process in civil court.

Key takeaways

• Colion explains that according to the president, the legal definition of a machine gun is based on mechanical function (multiple rounds per single trigger pull), not rate of fire
• The company president reports that Rare Breed consulted four former ATF agents and multiple attorneys before market launch, all of whom concluded the trigger was legal as a semi-automatic device
• Colion highlights the president’s claim that the ATF is arguing the company should not be allowed to submit evidence or expert testimony in civil court, demanding deference to the agency’s determination alone
• The president warns, according to Colion, that allowing the ATF to reinterpret the machine gun definition could set a precedent for reclassifying other firearms and stifling innovation
