Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is joining 15 other state attorneys general in suing the federal government to stop them from redistributing thousands of seized gun parts.
This comes after the Trump administration issued a directive ordering the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to return seized “forced‑reset triggers.” Those triggers are devices that can allow semi‑automatic rifles to fire at an increased rate.
The ongoing debate is over whether FRTs should be classified as a machine gun device, which it was under the Biden administration.
“The law is clear: Machine guns, and devices that turn a semiautomatic weapon into a machine gun, are illegal,” Weiser said in a statement. “We’re suing to stop the ATF and the administration from making our communities more dangerous by distributing thousands of devices that turn firearms into weapons of war.”
