As part of the agreement, Rare Breed Triggers will refrain from developing these devices for handguns, and the ATF is mandated to return any confiscated triggers to their rightful owners.

Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized that the Department of Justice considers the Second Amendment a fundamental right, reflecting a shift in gun policy under the Trump administration.

The Biden administration's attempts to ban these triggers were driven by their connection to mass shootings involving AR-15-style firearms.

Previously, the National Association for Gun Rights successfully challenged the Biden-era ban in Texas, resulting in a judicial ruling that deemed the ban unlawful.

The settlement underscores the ongoing tensions between gun rights advocates and federal agencies, with critics alleging that the ATF has overstepped its regulatory authority.

The Trump administration has announced a settlement that lifts the federal ban on forced-reset triggers, devices that allow semiautomatic rifles to fire more rapidly.

This settlement, reached between the Justice Department and Rare Breed Triggers, resolves ongoing legal disputes regarding the classification of their products.

Gun control advocates, including Vanessa Gonzalez from GIFFORDS, have expressed serious concerns that this decision will lead to increased gun violence and effectively legalize machine guns.

Lawrence DeMonico, president of Rare Breed Triggers, celebrated the settlement as a significant victory against government overreach, asserting that they have complied with the law.

This agreement resolves lawsuits stemming from the Biden administration's previous ban, which the Department of Justice argued was essential for public safety.

The legal battle began when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives classified certain triggers as illegal machine guns under the National Firearms Act, prompting legal action from Rare Breed Triggers.

Dudley Brown, president of the National Association for Gun Rights, hailed the decision as a victory for gun owners and accountability for the DOJ and ATF.
