I'm not very knowledgeable about the FRT litigation. Only that it's been percolating in The N.D. Texas court, and that it's similar to the Bump Stock lawsuit. I do know what an FRT is, and its principle of operation. I had surmised BATFE was going to eventually take another kick in the gonads. The Fat Lady hasn't sung yet. This is just the District Court. Expect BATFE to become apoplectic over his Prelim Injunction, considering they've seized many triggers, and have begun some prosecutions. My crystal ball predicts similar response from 5th Circuit upholding his injunction followed by a motion to SCOTUS for an emergency stay (Justice Alito handles 5th Ckt).VI. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction (ECF No. 22) to preserve the status quo until a final decision on the merits is rendered. The Court ORDERS that Defendants—along with their respective officers, agents,
servants, and employees—are hereby ENJOINED from implementing or enforcing against the parties in this lawsuit, in any civil or criminal manner described below, the ATF’s expanded definition of “machinegun” that this Court has determined is likely unlawful:
(1) Initiating or pursuing criminal prosecutions for possession of FRTs;
(2) Initiating or pursuing civil proceedings for possessing, selling, or manufacturing FRTs based on the claim that FRTs are machineguns;
(3) Initiating or pursuing criminal prosecutions for representing to the public of potential buyers and sellers that FRTs are not machineguns;
(4) Initiating or pursuing civil actions for representing to the public of potential buyers and sellers that FRTs are not machineguns;
(5) Sending “Notice Letters” or other similar communications stating that FRTs are machineguns;
(6) Requesting “voluntarily” surrender of FRTs to the government based on the claim that FRTs are machineguns;
(7) Destroying any previously surrendered or seized FRTs; and
(8) Otherwise interfering in the possession, sale, manufacture, transfer, or exchange of FRTs based on the claim that FRTs are machineguns.
This injunction covers the Individual Plaintiffs and their families, the Organizational Plaintiffs and their members, and the downstream customers of any commercial member of an Organizational Plaintiff. Furthermore, this injunctive relief shall not extend to any individual
prohibited from possessing firearms under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). For those parties covered by this injunction, the relief shall take effect immediately and remain in effect pending the final disposition of this lawsuit. See 5 U.S.C. § 705. Finally, the Court waives the security requirement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c).96 See Kaepa, Inc. v. Achilles Corp., 76 F.3d 624, 628 (5th Cir. 1996) (holding that the district court has discretion to waive the security requirement).
SO ORDERED this 7th day of October, 2023.
That's my interpretation of the court's injunction. You'd have to inquire with the sellers of them to see if they're taking orders again.So does this mean frt triggers are about to be for sale again?

The same BDU that copies competitors products and markets them as their own? The same BDU that never has anything in stock? The same BDU that claimed the FRT was a machine gun? That BDU?! They can go rot in h-e-double hockey sticks..

Pro-Gun Group Secures Big Win Over ATF In Federal Court
A federal court on Tuesday struck down a ban imposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on reset triggers.dailycaller.com
Would this need the gun show loop hole?would like to pick one up locally or at a local gun show
Nope, but no paper trails is always nice. Especially during the next .gov overreach.Would this need the gun show loop hole?
Asking for a friend!
Not considered a "firearm" at this time. That will remain so as long as Reed O'Connor's Order declaring it's not a machinegun is in place.Would this need the gun show loop hole?
