26 USC 5845 (b) defines a machine gun. It says:

"The term “machinegun” means any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger."

The ATF has said such triggers are not machine guns, because pulling the trigger is one function of the trigger, and releasing it is another function of the trigger. There's been a number of similar trigger systems sold over the years for both AR15's and other rifles. The only difference is that this trigger is electronic and not purely mechanical.
Ha, touché again. :tiphat:

I think it depends greatly on who is running the ATF for President Trump.
Touché, but with all things executive, it can also changes on the next administration...
