A federal judge on Tuesday issued an injunction blocking a firearms company from selling after-market triggers that let gun enthusiasts convert AR-15 style rifles into weapons that can shoot as fast as machine guns.
U.S. District Judge Nina Morrison in Brooklyn said the federal government was likely to prove that the "forced-reset" FRT-15 triggers sold by Rare Breed Triggers LLC and its owners were illegal machine gun conversion devices.
"Defendants fraudulently induced their customers to buy a product that is illegal to posses--falsely representing that the FRT-15s was 'absolutely' legal, while withholding material information in their possession that revealed otherwise," Morrison wrote in a 129-page decision. Lawyers for the defendants did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The office of U.S. Attorney Breon Peace in Brooklyn did not immediately respond to a similar request.the government from enforcing the forced-reset trigger ban against three people, calling the ban "likely unlawful."
