Maker of rapid-fire triggers falsely told customers they are legal, judge says in preliminary ruling

2. This is what the gun culture does. It exploits the tiniest of minutia to skirt the meaning of the law.

A full auto (machine gun) fires as long as there is pressure on the trigger. A semi-auto fires one bullet for each pull of the trigger and the trigger must be released before being pulled again. Machine guns are under the National Firearms Act that requires a tax, reallllllly strict background check and must be registered to the owner with the ATF.

First was the bump-stock that used recoil to push the gun away from the trigger finger to reset the trigger. Okay, Trump outlawed that.

Then came the 'auto sear' that allowed the trigger to automatically reset and made the gun full auto.

Now there is the 'forced reset' trigger. The mechanism actually pushes the trigger forward against the shooter's finger to reset the trigger so it technically resets the trigger between each shot. The shooter just puts pressure on the trigger and holds it (one trigger pull) and the gun forces his finger off the trigger. Technically it is a semi auto because the trigger is "released" after each shot when the finger is shoved forward by the gun.

The reasoning goes like this,"The gun fires one bullet per trigger pull because this little thingie here shoves your finger forward and then that thingie lets the gun shoot again but you don't have to take your finger off the trigger so it's not a machine gun because of the thingie."

I think all semi autos, pistols and rifles, should be placed under the NFA. Problem solved.
