Quoted: No shit. Has there been any mention of forced reset triggers by the NRA? I let my membership go last year, so no more magazines with Fudd lore. View Quote They were ok with bump stock banning so it's highly unlikely they would support a forced reset trigger I've never given them a dime and definitely won't with that jackwagon at the helm. |

I regret not buying one earlier. I don’t even want one so much as to just support the cause.

Quoted: Imagine being the ATF officer who show up armed, and steals $650K in private property at gunpoint, then apologizes for being a Government thug knowingly breaking the law because you feel guilty for breaking your oaths... But not guilty enough to go on TV or be interviewed by a talking head, or whistleblow to a senator or congressman.. View Quote He WILL be on the witness stand subject to examination by the plaintiff. That is potentially far more important than a 30 second TV clip. |

All of the "NR" guys on gunbroker selling FRT-15's glow oh so bright. Be careful.

I just wish that Rare Breed would launch an FRT for the 249s to realy rattle their jimmies. |

Quoted: So the FRT is such a dangerous machine gun. They left boxes of them in a parking lot as a trap…. Dicks! View Quote It was so dangerous they left hundreds lying unsecured in a parking lot for any white supremacist to grab... Criminal! Seriously though, the lawsuit looks good. They will win if the judge is impartial and follows the law. Just checked the Alamo-15, the Wide Open Triggers and a few others. None are being sold except on gunbroker. For ridiculous amounts. |

Hopefully they win their case and can focus on a 1919 trigger.

Quoted: Hopefully they win their case and can focus on a 1919 trigger. View Quote Market is too small. MP5 resurgence is a good market now. Still tiny compared to the AR market, but demand may be high enough to push it. Decades of originals and clones being made for the MP5 and the ability to swap trigger packs may make it more appealing. |

Quoted: Quoted: I just wish that Rare Breed would launch an FRT for the 249s to realy rattle their jimmies. I'm not sure you could get on to work on most semi auto MP5's because the bolts generally have the full auto sear trip milled off. Most of the recently manufactured receivers have a block to prevent you from installing an unmodified bolt. |

Someone needs to take their legal M-16 (full auto, not 3-round burst) and do a demo with it and the FRT-15 as a comparison. They will be able to show that the full-auto M-16 trigger stays in the rearward position as the magazine empties vs. the FRT-15 moving forward and resetting after each shot, therefore making it semi-auto. Video it in slow-motion for all to see the difference. The law doesn't define how fast a semi-auto can fire, just how it operates, and it is legal per the letter of the law. I hope Rare Breed tears the ATF a new one on this case.

Someone should bring RICO charges against them and get the org dissolved and outlawed.

I read the complaint. It is decent. I note that they are represented by two Florida lawyers with no local counsel in ND. The local rules of the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota allow any lawyer from anywhere in the country to be admitted to the bar of the court, so I imagine that is what they did. We should expect the government to file a very technical motion to dismiss based grounded in administrative law under the APA. This will not be a case based on the Constitution, other than the 5th Amendment right to due process.
They certainly have my interest. |

I'd like to point out that something is different about this attempt (and JSD Tactical's with 80%s)
ATF (and other regulatory agencies) have long managed to escape attention because to be honest, it was really, really hard to get ahold of these papers in lawsuits and other court cases. At best, you'd maybe read a brief blurb about this in Shotgun News, Machine Gun News, First Freedoms, etc. But now? In 2022? We can all download instantly the PDF version of the complaint filed with the court; and then see ATF's response, etc etc. I can't understate how important this is. You're already seeing the after effects of "almost every court case is available shortly after filing if you know the court #" with the JSD 80% case; where JSD lists a long and lengthy list of specific ATF technical documents, ATF technical rulings; with specific document numbers and document dates. Guess what? Now the whole 2A community knows about those; and is frantically looking to download copies of those (especially if attached as exhibit A through G to a filing). ATF and others can't hide behind obfuscation anymore. Also; the JSD Tactical list of ATF regs/rules/etc could only have come about if other people, companies, and lawyers were in contact with JSD Tactical and volunteered the information. We're finally getting away from "stovepiping" information as "need to know"; i.e. if DickSmasher Tactical got an ATF approval letter on something, usually they didn't share. But now, DickSmasher Tactical hears that JSD is in trouble and so says "Hey, JSD, here's what I got when I had some problems a bit back." That's huge. I don't think ATF (and DOJ) have quite figured out that the rules of the game are changing... |

I like where they're going.
1. They have multiple former technical branch agents, who the ATF themselves had qualified in criminal trials about MG definitions review it. The underlying criminal statutes ('34 NFA +'68 GCA + '86 FOPA) hasn't been changed in 35 years, so either these guys never were experts or they still are. 2. Timing is good, Chevron deference isn't going to fly very well when the underlying statues are pure criminal ones. The venue selection is on point for this. 3. The ATF appears to be stepping on their dicks. Leaving the unsecured triggers as either bait or gross incompetence is a nice one. |

It shows that really well in the slow motion clip and really shows how bullshit the AFT's case is. |
