And we are glad to end a needless cycle of litigation with a settlement that will enhance public safety.”

Ok, lets see how this makes people safer...

Forced-reset triggers allow gun owners to fire their semiautomatic weapons at great speed. Aided by the device, a shooter can fire hundreds of rounds in a minute with an extended squeeze, Biden administration officials had said.

What the fuck america??? Are you really so captured by idiocy and rampant stupidity that you believe this makes you safer????

The people promoting this think they'll make money off of it. Their words aren't meant to convey meaning; they're meant to manipulate.

The manipulation has definitely worked, the US is catching up to Russia, N Korea and China in the propaganda and brainwashed stakes. A populace who continually vote against their best interests, to such a degree is insane

We have the gestapo kidnapping citizens off the street and sending them to a foreign gulag. So, yes, my firearms make me safer. It is better to die than be tortured (including SA) and then killed. Furthermore, that description is hyperbolic.

"Hundreds of rounds per minute"...like this is scary somehow? You can already fire this manually. You'd need to do just over 3 shots per second, which is pretty easy for the average person. (Not that you'd want to - just hearing this hurts my wallet) All the forced reset does is force the trigger forward so it can latch again vs being able to hold the trigger down and need to wait for you to fully lift your finger back up.
