"US Secures Injunction Against Rifle Modification Devices"

A U.S. district judge in Brooklyn has granted a court injunction against firearms company Rare Breed Triggers LLC, blocking the sale of after-market triggers that allow AR-15 style rifles to be converted into machine guns. The judge ruled that the triggers were illegal machine guns under federal law and that the company had defrauded customers by falsely claiming their legality. The decision also highlighted alleged efforts by the company to obstruct government tracking and confiscation of the devices. This is the first preliminary injunction of its kind, and it comes amidst a broader debate over rapid-fire gun devices and their legality.
