I was saving up to get a binary trigger for some fun. But I see us North Dakotans cant have that kind of FUN.

Where in the law is it prohibited?  I can't recall ever reading that.

From Echo's site,

North Dakota: Machinegun definition includes a firearm not requiring the trigger to be pressed for each shot. See, NDCC Chapter 62.1-01.

8. "Machine gun, submachine gun, or fully automatic rifle" means a firearm, mechanism,
or instrument not requiring that the trigger be pressed for each shot, and having a
reservoir, belt, or other means of storing and carrying ammunition which can be loaded
into the firearm, mechanism, or instrument and fired therefrom at a rate of five or more
shots to the second



edit: added code

Thanks for pointing this out. I know a few ND representatives. Maybe we can get this changed during the next session.

Can you recommend any changes to the wording that would only focus on the machine gun and not include the binary trigger?

ETA. Do you know a state where they are not prohibited? We can look at their laws for an example.

This is most likely an old definition of machine gun prior to binary triggers.  ND wouldn't intentionally ban the triggers. They just fit into the definition.

FROM Fostech's ECHO page, these are the states that they cant sell to

New Jersey: Machinegun definition includes a firearm not requiring the trigger to be pressed for each shot. See, NJAC 13:54-1.2.

North Dakota: Machinegun definition includes a firearm not requiring the trigger to be pressed for each shot. See, NDCC Chapter 62.1-01.

Oregon: Machinegun definition includes a firearm allows two or more shots to be fired by a single pressure on the trigger device. See, ORS § 166.210.

Washington: Machinegun definition includes a firearm not requiring the trigger to be pressed for each shot. See, RCW § 9.41.010(15).
