A Federal judge has ruled against the Bureau of All Things Fun and Exciting (BATFE) when they banned Forced Reset Triggers.
O’Connor cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling striking down a ban on bump stocks, another device that allows a gun to be fired at a speed similar to a machine gun. The court found that the legal definition of a machine gun requires the gun to fire continuously while the trigger is held, which neither bump stocks nor forced reset triggers do…[The Mass shooting in Las Vegas was terrible] “But no matter how terrible the circumstances, there is never a situation that justifies a court altering statutory text that was democratically enacted by those who are politically accountable,” he wrote. “That responsibility belongs exclusively to Congress.”
With that being said, I wonder if the window isn’t open for the manufacture of things like the Super Safety, the plans for which can be found on this very website.

Astonishing–but, maybe not really–that we have no answers for the Las Vegas massacre. An old POS demolishes a double-paned, hardened 800# window all by himself then unloads on a crowd from a high position using f’n bump stock–cycled rifles?
If you have ever used one (I have) then you know IMMEDIATELY that this crappy accessory–the bump stock–fails to cycle repetitively & reciprocally unless it is virtually HORIZONTAL! It is a twitchy, inexpensive mechanical device, and, “You, sir, are NOT an AUTO SEAR.”
Something stinks to High Heaven here! No one was using a bump stock with any effectiveness firing from a MINIMUM 45º angle (Mandalay Bay to concert field).
But, no one GAF about these details…….

Someone is already manufacturing and selling the SS, not sure if it is an ATF honey pot or what but…

Yes, the window is open. Not only did the judge bar the ATF from sending letters and demanding/taking them from people but also ordered the ATF to return any they seized to their rightful owners.
Any attempt to prosecute anyone at this point is “entrapment by estoppel”. A federal judge just issued legal guidance that you can rely on.
DOJ’s own words here on that:

This is a great explanation of FRT case from a well know attorney:
