US EditionTrump administration strikes deal to allow sales of rapid-fire gun modification
- The Trump administration agreed in a settlement announced on Friday to allow the sale and possession of forced-reset triggers that increase rifle firing rates.
- This followed the Biden administration's 2022 ban and lawsuits citing mass shootings involving AR-15-style rifles, which led to blocked sales and challenges in court.
- The settlement ended ongoing appeals, required the ATF to return seized triggers, and barred the machine gun ban as long as devices are not made for handguns.
- Attorney General Pamela Bondi emphasized that the Department of Justice views the Second Amendment as a fundamental right, not one of lesser importance, while gun control advocates cautioned that the settlement could lead to an increase in gun violence.
- The agreement signals a significant policy shift favoring gun rights, with advocates hailing it as a victory against government overreach and critics predicting harm to public safety.
