There had been several legal battles over forced-reset triggers, which replace the typical trigger on an AR-15-style rifle. The government for years had argued they are essentially illegal machine gun conversion devices because constant finger pressure on the triggers will keep a rifle firing essentially like an automatic.

It's basically a spring that forcibly resets the trigger even if your pulling it.

So if you keep squeezing, it's going to keep shooting.

So they say "essentially" a full auto, but they really could have dropped the "essentially", that shits full auto:

So I know fuck and all about guns, but this sounds like a good way to ruin an AR-15.

I don't think I've ever seen a video where military personnel are using full auto unless it's mounted on top of a Humvee and they're just trying to suppress the enemy.

My understanding is that full auto on most firearms will lead to a loss of control, wasting ammo, wearing your gun down quicker, and not really gaining much unless you're really close firing into a crowd.

Which would mean that this modification is essentially beneficial in mass shootings and in no way beneficial to armed resistance?

Essentially yes. The amount of times I've switched off of semi (and not to safe) during my service is probably single digits. Full auto is for suppressive fire and novelty. Even for suppressive fire, controlled bursts are usually preferable.

well, yes, republican degenerates are perfectly happy to have schools shot up.
