  • A group of 16 Democratic AGs withdrew their motion for a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit challenging a decision by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to redistribute thousands of previously seized forced-reset triggers (FRTs)—devices that increase the rate of fire of semi-automatic firearms.
  • In their notice of withdrawal, the AGs cited the ATF’s assurances that it will not return seized FRTs to their states and that, instead, owners in those states will be given options for disposing of their FRTs and will be warned that they may not bring any returned FRT into jurisdictions where they are prohibited. In their withdrawal notice, the AGs also referenced confirmation by Rare Breed Triggers, the country’s largest purveyor of FRTs, that it will not sell FRTs in their states.
  • We previously reported on the filing of the AGs’ lawsuit challenging ATF’s FRT redistribution plan.
