Judge Questions States’ Challenge to ATF Trigger Deal

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis indicates she is likely to allow federal settlements that permit the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to return “forced reset triggers” to private owners, despite challenges from 15 Democratic-led states. These states, including New Jersey and the District of Columbia, argue that the settlements undermine local gun laws by allowing devices that mimic automatic fire to be circulated, a reversal of the Biden-era classification deeming them illegal under federal law.

During the hearing, Judge Xinis expressed doubt about the states’ standing, questioning their evidence of harm as they seek an injunction to halt the device’s return. Notably, the ATF has seized approximately 11,800 forced reset triggers, many of which are set for return to manufacturers who agree not to distribute them in states where they are banned. The case’s implications could affect future federal negotiation stability, as DOJ attorney John Bailey warns against empowering states to disrupt these agreements over speculative harm.
