Has the NRA asked for the ATF to look at it again, before we even know what it is?

No, rifling on slugs don't make it spin that a myth. The rifling is actually there as a gimmick and to prevent barrel damage when choked.

You think theres a device that you have to engage to reset the trigger?

Is that what youre thinking?

possibility: could the muzzle device be forged as a part of the barrel?  ie one piece?

The add mentions "NRS" technology, which is "non-recoil suppressing"... I looked up the patent, which, if my digging is right, is basically for bump-fire stocks.

NRS Patent

I am guessing they made a configuration where the barrel extension is actually considered the "barrel" and it has a 11" rifled "muzzle device"??

It's either not designed to be fired from the shoulder or is not a rifle by some other definition. Per the ATF:
The term “Rifle” means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger.

So they either got around the projectile, around the bore, around the fired from the shoulder, or the number of rounds fired per trigger pull. Since they make binary triggers....

So much simpler than I thought, so it either just needs to be sold with a binary trigger and a note that says not to remove said device or its "non-removable"

-Started life as a pistol
-OAL length of more than 26" is all I can think of....

-Still does not seem right because once a rifle always a rifle so the moment it had a stock on it, it a rifle...and not just a firearm, right?

I give up.

if the gun is over 26" in length with the stock fully extended it isn't a NFA firearm apparently. I have wondered about that myself. I'm glad they have clarified the law. Hopefully this catches on because they would be ideal for home/car defense.

A machine gun is 1 bullet per trigger function.
A rifle(or SBR) is 1 bullet per trigger pull.

A firearm that fires one bullet per trigger function but 2 bullets per trigger pull, is neither a Machine gun or a Rfile(or SBR).

The Binary Trigger is the Key

How about one short per two functions of the trigger?

Either with two trigger presses per shot OR a function of the trigger for each the pull and for the release. If one shot comes from it, then it's one shot per two functions of the trigger.

Maybe it is "designed to shoot blanks"

but if someone wanted to they could shoot real bullets out of it?

Man, would that be one dangerous grey area or what...

You don't have to release the trigger pull, so it is still one bullet.

I thought the ATF interpreted "each single pull of the trigger" to be equivalent to "each single action of the trigger."  Otherwise binary triggers create machine guns, unless the MG definition is fucky in a way that avoids that.
