Outraged by the settlement of the forced reset trigger lawsuit, 16 Attorneys General sue to stop the return of illegally confiscated forced reset triggers.
Last month, the Trump Administration made a significant move to uphold Second Amendment rights by lifting the ban on forced-reset triggers (FRTs) in a settlement with the National Association for Gun Rights and Rare Breed Triggers.
After the settlement, Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized that the Second Amendment is not a second-class right, signaling a shift away from the restrictive gun policies of the Biden Administration.
Just Monday, fifteen states, including the District of Columbia, filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration’s decision, along with NAGR and Rare Breed Firearms.
The states, led by anti-gun attorney general of New Jersey, include Maryland, Delaware, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia.
This coalition of anti-gun states tried to intervene twice before in forced reset trigger lawsuits, only to be shutdown by the courts.
However, the lawsuit is headed to an anti-gun court in Maryland, where it’ll be spearheaded by an Obama-appointed judge.
Additionally, most of these states have already banned forced reset triggers at the state level — and the settlement did not reverse those state bans.
According to Hannah Hill, Vice President of the National Foundation for Gun Rights, three outcomes are possible:
- Either the anti-gun states know they can’t enforce their own gun control; or
- This lawsuit is considered reckless political lawfare because these states don’t want Second Amendment rights restored; or
- Both!
Hill also concludes with saying: “We SHOULD win.”
