Orlando-based Rare Breed Triggers, a Florida Limited Liability Company, is taking on the federal government in a lawsuit over an order to halt production of their patented gun trigger, the FRT-15.

Specifically, an attorney from The Law Office of Kevin P. McCann in Merritt Island, Fla.; tested by Daniel O’Kelly, a former Senior Special Agent at the ATF and now a Director of GunLearn and a senior instructor at International Firearm Specialist Academy; reviewed by Rick Vasquez, a research and analysis consultant of Rick Vasquez Firearms, LLC; and Brian Luettke, a former special agent of the ATF and now a consultant for Firearms Training and Interstate Nexus Consulting, LLC all weighed in on the legality of the FRT-15 in its capacity as a machine gun.

All of the above experts mentioned in the legal complaint filed by Maxwell to block the ATF’s cease and desist noted that the FRT-15 did not meet the definition of a machine gun, at least under the definition in the National Firearms Act of Title 26 U.S.C. § 5845. Instead, all of the associated found that the product performed as a semiautomatic trigger, and therefore did not constitute a machine gun pursuant to the NFA.
