Question, and perhaps I'm just stupid, but I really don't know what the atf means by " without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger" I just find that rather confusing in the context of a machine gun. Can someone explain this to this simpleton?

A single pull of the trigger cause a cartridge to fire resulting in the machine reloading without any other action by the shooter.

Doesn't that go without saying, why add the " Manual reloading" ? I don't even believe that possible in something shooting full auto.

Still can't make sense of it, I'll have to agree with funshooter, it appears to just be a waste of text in order to confuse, it doesn't take that much to confuse the jury pool.

Aren't there triggers designed to fire when you pull the trigger it fires like a normal trigger but when you release it the gun fires again. With such a trigger might come closer to full auto than the rectal orifices at the BATFE. I sen more that one ads for what appear to be that type of trigger while cruise various hunter/shooter forums. PJ

Question, and perhaps I'm just stupid, but I really don't know what the atf means by " without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger" I just find that rather confusing in the context of a machine gun. Can someone explain this to this simpleton? A semi-automatic firearm shall only be allowed to fire one round per trigger activation. No binary trigger that fires round number two on the release. This, I think is their focus. I believe, you can have a firearm that, for example, fires a round, the bolt holds open, you load another round, then release the bolt (no trigger activation) that fires round two upon the bolt closing... (I visualize something like an AR action without a magazine). . A bolt action could be made to do this type of operation also. (Think Remington 700 slam fire, lol). A WAG as examples that can fire two rounds with one trigger pull that wouldn't be prohibited. Is manual reloading referring to reloading the firearm or reloading the chamber? I'd think chamber. Full auto, or burst of fire, would obviously be prohibited. .

Think "jury instructions." I'm thinking legal definitions written by lawyers who've never fired a gun

It's bogus insanity. Simi Auto rifles like the AR and AK can be made to fire full auto with a nothing more than a rubber band and a stick and still be within the definition of a simi auto. They're trying to make a case for outlawing all simi auto firearms. We need to be rid of that bunch of misfits. It's apparent they are out of control again.

Full auto, or burst of fire, would obviously be prohibited. . By this definition the forced reset trigger could not be defined as a machine gun, the trigger must be manually activated for each round fired. It does manually (or mechanically) force the trigger back into your finger so that holding a few pounds of pressure will fire the gun repeatedly, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a single function of the trigger. Still a bit confused about "without manually reloading" Meaning automatically reload, as in the bolt picking up a round and rechambering without outside influences? I know I'm making to much of this, but if it changes the definition above.
