Are Binary Triggers Legal in New Mexico?

ATF's New Mexico compendium catalogs the state's firearms laws without a binary-trigger, trigger-activator, or rate-of-fire-enhancement entry. A device-level review should therefore stay anchored to the enacted weapon definitions and the host firearm rather than treating a federal classification letter as a substitute for all state analysis.

Binary triggers are legal under federal law and are not machine guns under 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b); ATF treats the trigger pull and the trigger release as two separate functions of the trigger, so one round is fired per function. Cargill v. Garland (2024) concerned bump stocks, not binary triggers, and does not change this.

Scope: Binary triggers (Franklin Armory BFSIII and similar): fire one round on trigger pull and one on release. Forced reset triggers are a separate class.
