ATF Tries To Ban Forced Reset Triggers As People Begin To 3D Print At Home
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler DurdenEveryone in the gun-rights world has been following the ATF's attack on RBT. The Feds say RBT's FRT-15 (forced reset trigger for an AR-15 platform) is classified as a "machine gun," but the company claims otherwise.
Less than two weeks ago, Gun Owners of America, one of the most prominent pro-gun organizations, published an alleged leaked internal ATF email documenting plans to start seizing lawfully-owned FRT-15s from manufacturers and resellers. RBT's president Lawrence Demonico responded to the leaked memo and said while he couldn't confirm it, "I can tell you we've received word from one dealer in Illinois late yesterday afternoon stating that the ATF visited him and handed him a cease and desist order and seized FRT-15 triggers."
The ATF under the Biden administration is getting bolder and could rule by executive fiat on new guidelines for gun braces, serialized uppers, and 80% lowers as early as spring. The Feds are also pursuing the ban of forced reset triggers. Many in the gun community have a bad feeling about an overreaching ATF ahead of midterms as President Biden must appease his anti-gun base.
With that aside, we enter the world of 3D printing and how the gun community has embraced this technology over recent years to stay one step ahead of the ATF. This brings us to one YouTuber named "Hoffman Tactical," who released a video days ago explaining how he 3D-printed a forced reset trigger.
