I read through it, trying to focus on the "trigger" part. That I can see, no, a simple trigger on a rifle does not exactly meet what they're calling to ban. i-5 sub section (A) basically calls out bump stocks, sub section (B) calls out external mechanisms.

 

The only part that is possibly a gotcha is one sentence in i-5 that reads "including, but not limited to:" right at the end of the paragraph.

 

It does leave a crack in the door, but its a small crack. My guess, that doesn't include a drop in trigger, or trigger service from a gunsmith.

I honestly do not see a use for bump stocks, trigger cranks, or tannerite. I view these things as toys. HOWEVER...I will oppose any efforts to ban them until we get something in return. Give me reciprocity for out-of-state CC licensees. Take the force of law away from postings. Then, we can talk. Otherwise, I'm 100% opposed and I will call my state reps.

Never compromise, ever. We will ALWAYS oppose gun control and will ALWAYS refuse to trade with the gun control movement, for they do not compromise in good faith.

Sorry, but as I read it, it means any trigger mod that increases rate of fire. That would include a light pull trigger spring, assembly et al, as it allows one to increase the rate of fire. It's INTENDED, likely to make bump stock rate of fire illegal, but isn't written that way. Sorry, don't care what intentions are, only what it says, and what CAN be used. BAD bill.
