Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware's attorneys general are filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration over forced reset triggers, devices allowing semi-automatic weapons to function like machine guns. This stems from a settlement with Rare Breed Triggers which the DOJ argues undermines federal firearm regulations. The states aim for a preliminary injunction to prevent the devices' distribution. This lawsuit reflects broader attempts to address gun violence, joining previous actions against Glock and emphasizing ongoing concerns regarding firearm regulations and public safety.
"We're seeking a preliminary injunction to block the redistribution of forced reset triggers into our states," New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin said Monday morning. "This is just part of what we're doing in New Jersey and in the states we're representing to reduce gun violence."
The Department's agreement with Rare Breed Triggers avoids the need for continued appeals in United States v. Rare Breed Triggers and continued litigation in other, related cases concerning the same issue.
