In case you forgot, the agency famous for once declaring a shoestring a machine gun has recently targeted Florida-based company Rare Breed Triggers.
Why?
Well, an ATF letter to Rare Breed stated that the FRT-15 trigger was classified as a machine gun under the National Firearms Act and that Rare Breed needs to cease and desist sales of the FRT-15.
The ATF concluded that the Rare Breed triggers were a set of parts designed to convert a semi-automatic weapon into a machine gun. The ATF’s examination found that the Rare Breed trigger allows a firearm to “shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, with a single continuous pull of the trigger.”
The FRT in FRT-15 stands for Forced Reset Trigger, and though I have not handled one, I understand that they still require one pull of the trigger to function.
The user pulls the trigger, the weapon fires and the FRT-15 forces a reset of the trigger. If the user keeps continuous force on the trigger, it will fire again.
Here’s Rare Breed’s explanation of how the FRT-15 works:
So, let’s fast-forward to now and what is occurring.
Lawrence DeMonico recently uploaded this video to give an update on the lawsuit so, we reached out to him for comment, and let’s just say that he was happy to give us some backstory.
He also asked for our help in sharing the message.
In 2020, Rare Breed purchased a patent from “Wolf Tactical“ and developed the Forced Reset Trigger-15 (FRT-15).
They brought the FRT-15 to market in December 2020 and later entered into an agreement with Big Daddy Unlimited to be the sole distributor for the trigger. After a few short months of the trigger being offered, BATFE hit Rare Breed with a Cease & Desist letter demanding they stop manufacturing, marketing, and selling the FRT-15.
Based on mechanical impossibilities and wording not included in the statutory definition of machinegun, the BATFE had classified the trigger as a “Machinegun”.
They redefined what makes an item a Machinegun while also changing their testing criteria. Disagreeing with the BATFE decision, Rare Breed filed its first lawsuit against the agency but also continued to manufacture and sell the FRT-15.
That first lawsuit was dismissed due to a missed joint filing date. Soon after, Rare Breed filed a second lawsuit that was also dismissed but for venue reasons.
Shortly thereafter, the fun came to a screeching halt for most of us that were enjoying the trigger. At some point, we all had to start worrying about having a Machinegun in our safe because we purchased what was clearly a semiautomatic trigger.
Rare Breed has been fighting this fight for the last 24 months against both the ATF and the DOJ.
Now, combine this with having to fight multiple companies for patent infringement, which in itself is an extremely costly undertaking.
Big Daddy Unlimited and their WOT trigger was just the start but there were also numerous other small companies that decided to jump in on the infringement.
It should be NO surprise to anyone reading this that litigation is EXTREMELY costly. The company President and other principles have heavily invested in defending the rights of “We The People” from the ATF. Now they need our help to try and push this over the line and bring it home.
Rare Breed has joined forces with The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) and Texas Gun Rights (TGR). NAGR brought new litigation earlier this week against the ATF and DOJ in the Northern District of Texas asking the court for numerous forms of relief.
That relief sought by the plaintiffs consists of the following:
- Injunctive relief restraining the government from taking any civil or criminal actions against anyone possessing a forced reset trigger.
- Declaratory judgment by the court stating that forced reset triggers are NOT machine guns.
- All FRTs seized or surrendered to the government be returned to their rightful owners, or if destroyed, the rightful owners be compensated for the value of their lost property.
And just so we’re all on the same sheet of music, the type of injunctive relief sought by NAGR and Rare Breed is not unlikely at all as we’ve recently seen similar injunctive relief issued by the court in Firearm Policy Coalition’s pistol brace case.
What NAGR and Rare Breed are asking for is your monetary support to keep up the good fight–against the ATF. NAGR has set up a donation page for this and when you donate, you also get a 1-year NAGR membership.
Now what does that mean for us? Well, “IF” you own a forced reset trigger and “IF” an injunction is granted, as a member of NAGR, that injunctive relief should be extended to you.
This would prevent the DOJ and ATF from pursuing civil and/or criminal actions against you throughout the period of this litigation. This potential benefit alone is worth the price of a NAGR membership.

Now, to be clear, I am not particularly in favor of the FRT Trigger, and maybe there are some of you who are.
However, I take issue with government agencies that are doing their best to infringe on the Second Amendment.
If you do not like the FRT-15 trigger then you do not need to purchase it but to ban things you constantly do not like is out of control.
This is our opportunity to rise up, fight back, and declare… this is NOT happening Today!

Who else is sick and tired of the woke agenda being shoved down our throats daily?
You know what makes it even worse is that we are funding it with our dollars.
Yep, and it stinks.
Every day we are fighting the culture war that is destroying our nation and when we go to the store we are funding it with our dollars.
However, it doesn’t have to be that way and I am so excited to find alternatives.
The only “catch”?
It’s Invite only.
Good thing you know someone that has the invites….(me!).
Yep! I would not make a suggestion if I wasn’t going to hook you up.
If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here and tell them SASSY sent you:
It’s the real deal for sure, and since it is invite only and does not run like other corrupt conglomerates they may have the SHUT OFF invites if they grow too fast.
We need to stop sending our dollars to the corporations that hate us and want to see us gone!
Remember the Georgia Guidestones?
They literally told us they wanted to reduce us from 8 billion people on Earth down to only 500 million.
No big deal, right?
Just an elimination of 94% of all people living right now.
And yet we continue to shop at their big stores and send them our money because until now we’ve had little choice.
Well, today that changes.
It’s time to “ditch and switch” and change where you send your dollars each month.
What if I told you instead of sending your money to Jeff Bezos and Costco and Walmart, you could shop at the LAST pro-America, freedom-loving, American designer, manufacturer, and shipper of all the stuff you buy each month?
Oh, and what if I told you the products are BETTER and often CHEAPER?
Yes, for real.
And what if I told you this is the best-kept secret you’ve never heard of before, but that this company has been doing this for the last 37 years?
And their founder was once placed on Barack Hussein Obama’s list of the Top 10 most “Dangerous Conservatives” in America?
(a list I one day hope to make myself!)
All of that is real and I’m so excited to tell you about it and I hope you’ll join the MISSION with me.
Here’s a quick summary of this company that I’m so excited to now be partnered up with on this mission:
Sound good to anyone else?
Me too!
I can get you in, but you can’t just go sign up.
They only want people on the same mission to join and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs!
They’ve been doing it for 37 years, and it works great.
Oh, and did I mention the products are non-toxic and don’t have all the chemicals and crap like Red Dye 40 that all the Big Corporations put in their products to weaken you?
To wear you down?
To make you — and your family — sick?
Because then when you get sick you’ll buy their drugs!
Sorry folks, I don’t play that game and neither does my family.
We’re talking about the LAST all-natural, grass-fed, no hormone, massive beef cattle ranch in the United States….
Sound good?
We’re talking Fluoride Free Toothpaste, chemical-free cleaners, and Deet-free mosquito repellant!
What novel concepts, right?
Stop sending your money to these 11 corporations that do NOT have your best interest at heart:
It’s an ILLUSION of choice.
There’s only one pro-American, American-made and manufactured, chemical-free, toxin-free, hormone-free, company left….and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK!
As I said, it’s Invite Only and the invite is entirely free!
In fact, I’ve assembled a team of patriots who will personally get you invited and signed up….if you want in.
Folks, we don’t have many strongholds left.
This is one.
And I’m all in.
If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here:
Tell them Sassy sent you and I promise you will get a personal call or text. If you want an email make sure you use one where one of the team members can get in touch with you.
Don’t freak out when you do.
And make sure you tell them you are interested in the Black Angus beef!
I know I tend to get concerned when I get messages from numbers I don’t recognize, but if you request a Free Invite (Link here: you WILL have someone from my Inner Circle reach out to you….so be ready!
These are awesome people and I think you’ll love getting a chance to talk with them.
And they’ll help get you all set up.
Who’s with me?
