If you use a VPN like Express VPN, you can switch your location to somewhere more reasonable like Dallas, TX, etc, and then the vids will be availableI'm missing out on all of this thread. What's a 'Triger'? And 'rare breed'? If it's a 'tiger/triceratops hybrid, then I agree that it's quite rare, especially as the latter has been extinct for 65 million years.
Maybe I ought to have mentioned that the video is not available in Europe, for some reason.
'kay. I've figured it out now, thanks. Living in UK it's of little interest to me these days, well, since 1987, in fact. But it's nice to see what you guys are getting up to these days.If you use a VPN like Express VPN, you can switch your location to somewhere more reasonable like Dallas, TX, etc, and then the vids will be available
I certainly get this, and I think most do as we see this repeated in nearly any gun forum, site or video about it HOWEVER...But if you understand the engineering and how the trigger is still individually pulled to fire every individual shot, it does not meet the definition of full automatic fire whatsoever.
That can be said about the Akins accelerator and bump stocks as well. It's not hard to make your own bump stock. Why are 50bmg uppers now numbered like a complete firearm?I certainly get this, and I think most do as we see this repeated in nearly any gun forum, site or video about it HOWEVER...
What perplexes me (actually confuses me) is why it is so difficult for say this Lawrence Demonico and his 'throngs' of experts and lawyers to mount a defense to debunk the ATFs classification of the trigger as a 'machine gun'. The trigger does not possess an action, barrel or firing pin, cannot accept ammo and CANNOT BE FIRED!! It seems like a no brainier to me. I mean this would be like calling the gas pedal of a vehicle an 'automobile' even thought it requires varying pressure of the foot to control the speed.
I suspect it is nothing more than arrogance on the part of the ATF to maintain this classification but until THIS part is resolved it doesn't appear the ATF could care less how the trigger functions and will remain a 'standoff' with them.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance indeed.
Definitions lag behind technology, obviously. It'd be damn near impossible to define the specifics of some future tech.
So some politicians decided that John Q Public shouldn't own a machine gun and, at the time, there was an easy distinction: one trigger press equals one pew or one press equals pew pew pews. Pretty easy to draw the line.
The law is the technical representation of the want: the Fed doesn't want Mr. Public to have a fast rate of fire in any weapon he owns. The law serves this purpose.
Now, we have forced reset and binary technology. No, it doesn't conflict with the letter of the law, but it's obvious that it conflicts with the spirit of it by allowing John to have a fast rate of fire. In the FRT's case, a rate of fire that's damn near indiscernible from automatic fire.
We have (yet another) situation where someone is riding the line between letter of the law and spirit. It'll obviously go to the courts to decide, but don't be surprised when both forced reset and binary tech gets axed entirely or NFA'ed.
The only way this changes is if the NFA and Brady amendments start to be dismantled. I don't think FRT is going to be the one to take out the first brick. My money is on Texas's new suppressor law and cans being removed from the NFA first. It's going to be a long while before we see machine guns allowed (or any tech that likewise allows as fast a rate of fire).
This is no different than pistol braces. Both were going to be in the ATF's sights eventually and anyone arguing that they don't break the spirit of the law is delusional. You're playing in a grey zone and I really hope successful in getting things changed.
So are shoe strings. That's the real reason they take them from you in jail, they don't really care if hang yourself.Pants are machine guns.
Are you in the Military? I'm not. I do not own 1 single "assault weapon", I own a semi auto clone of a rifle that looks like a military rifle. Used for sporting purposes and self defense and in some cases, hunting..Fortunately thats not how law works usually. The spirit of law is mental mastirbation at its finest and impossible to define. Its like the 2nd amendment argument that the founders didn't think about "military assault weapons" that we all no is not true statment or that the Constitution is a living document. All bs of the highest level.

Yes, because no statute has ever been written forcing a judicial interpretation and there really isn't any reason for courts since we can all read amirite?Fortunately thats not how law works usually.

Dismissing this interpretation as "mental masturbation" or "BS" is short sighted and ahistorical. You really don't think the founder's intent weighs on any decision that's ever been made by the SC? Uh huh…..
Seems like dueling could really help out with our politician troublesWho's fault is it really?
The degenerates ATF?
OR
We the spineless people?
last time I checked, we voted for these losers in office and when they get out of line, we tolerate it. We the armed citizens of the United States are the biggest military in the world. We could take our country back but we are too fat and dumped down to do so.
I will admit, I too am part of the problem, to a point. I don't go above and beyond as a citizen to make changes for the better. But at least I have a clue as to how this system works and I try not to contribute. Trust me, I know how bad I'm getting shafted.
this is just the beginning..... We ain't seen sh!t yet.
