Sixteen states have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration regarding its proposal to permit the sale of forced-reset triggers, which enable semiautomatic rifles to fire at an increased rate, and return devices seized from their owners.
The lawsuit, which was announced on Monday, argues that the return of the triggers would violate federal laws, endangering both residents and law enforcement personnel, as well as potentially worsening gun violence. The suit was filed in a federal court in Maryland.
