(914 posts)The comments on this article are "exhibit A" of the ignorance of firearms and why we continually lose elections.
The reset trigger does NOTHING like the article states, and show an utter lack of mechanical knowledge of something they think is scary, but do not understand..
The reset trigger merely resets on the pull and release of the trigger instead of just the "pull"....It is NOT a machinegun, it doesn't ACT like a machinegun, and ultimately would have been lost at the SCOTUS level, simply because the trigger itself is not regulated under GCA 68 or NFA 34/37 which regulate machineguns.
These comments are why Carolyn McCarthy's 25 year old comments about "the shoulder thing that goes up" have become a right wing meme...They were given by her on MSNBC when Carlson was still on that network when asked what her legislation actually meant and she couldn't even describe it.
