Basic Legal Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court has confirmed what We The People already knew by reading the plain text of the Law. Each time the trigger moves and releases the hammer, that is a single function of the trigger. The ARIZONA REGULATOR does not make the gun automatic nor does it allow you to fire more than one shot per single function of the trigger. The required conditions of the Federal Law for something to be a machinegun, 'automatically' and more than one shot 'by a single function of the trigger' are not met by the ARIZONA REGULATOR. Both conditions must be met for something to be a machinegun.
Supreme Court Excerpts (Case 22-976, Justice Thomas Opinion)
"an accessory for a semiautomatic rifle that allows the shooter to rapidly reengage the trigger (and therefore achieve a high rate of fire)— converts the rifle into a 'machinegun.' We hold that it does not and therefore affirm." (pg 1)
"With a machinegun, a shooter can fire multiple times, or even continuously, by engaging the trigger only once. This capability distinguishes a machinegun from a semiautomatic firearm. With a semiautomatic firearm, the shooter can fire only one time by engaging the trigger." (pg 2)
"The phrase 'function of the trigger' thus refers to the mode of action by which the trigger activates the firing mechanism...the phrase 'function of the trigger' means the physical trigger movement required to shoot the firearm." (pg 7)
"is not a machinegun because it fires only one shot per 'function of the trigger.' That is, engaging the trigger a single time will cause the firing mechanism to discharge only one shot." (pg 7-8-9)
"merely reduces the amount of time that elapses between separate 'functions' of the trigger." and "makes it easier for the shooter to...thereby release pressure from the trigger and reset it." (pg 12)
"This argument rests on the mistaken premise that there is a difference between a shooter flexing his finger to pull the trigger and a shooter pushing the firearm forward to bump the trigger against his stationary finger...§5845(b) does not define a machinegun based on what type of human input engages the trigger...The statutory definition instead hinges on how many shots discharge when the shooter engages the trigger." (pg 13)
"But, Congress did not write a statutory definition of 'machinegun' keyed to when a firing sequence begins and ends. Section 5845(b) asks only whether a weapon fires more than one shot 'by a single function of the trigger.'" (pg 14)
"Section 5845(b) asks whether a weapon 'shoots...automatically more than one shot...by a single function of the trigger.' The statute thus specifies the precise action that must 'automatically' cause a weapon to fire 'more than one shot'—a 'single function of the trigger.' If something more than a 'single function of the trigger' is required to fire multiple shots, the weapon does not satisfy the statutory definition." (pg 14-15)
"But, even if one aspect of a weapon's operation could be seen as 'automatic,' that would not mean the weapon 'shoots...automatically more than one shot...by a single function of the trigger.' §5845(b) (emphasis added). After all, many weapons have some 'automatic' features...A semiautomatic rifle is therefore 'automatic' in the general sense that it performs some operations that would otherwise need to be completed by hand. But, as all agree, a semiautomatic rifle cannot fire more than one shot 'automatically...by a single function of the trigger' because the shooter must do more than simply engage the trigger one time." (pg 17)
"So, ATF reasons, concluding that bump stocks are lawful 'simply because the [trigger] moves back and forth...would exalt artifice above reality and enable evasion of the federal machinegun ban.' ...The presumption against ineffectiveness cannot do the work that ATF and the dissent ask of it. A law is not useless merely because it draws a line more narrowly than one of its conceivable statutory purposes might suggest." (pg 18)
"In any event, Congress could have linked the definition of 'machinegun' to a weapon's rate of fire...But, it instead enacted a statute that turns on whether a weapon can fire more than one shot 'automatically...by a single function of the trigger.' §5845(b)...it is never our job to rewrite...statutory text under the banner of speculation about what Congress might have done." (pg 19)
"For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals. It is so ordered." (pg 19)
Product Description
The ARIZONA REGULATOR is a Revolutionary Out of Battery Safety for the Semi-Auto AR Rifle and Pistol Platforms. Federal Legal Semi-Auto function is accomplished by the use of a new technology known as multiple interface camming action. This new and unique action provides an ultra smooth function along with perfect timing engineered in.
The ARIZONA REGULATOR regulates one shot per single function of the trigger which allows you to have a lot of legal fun with your AR rifle or pistol. The ARIZONA REGULATOR is designed, engineered, and intended to eliminate the ability for your AR to fire Out of Battery. It works via the BCG engaging the mechanism when the bolt is out of battery.
The ARIZONA REGULATOR by means of its unique U.S. Patent Pending Design and Engineering still allows the hammer to interact with the disconnector as is normal in a Semi-Auto firing cycle and makes the trigger reengage the hammer between shots thus increasing overall safety of the firearm while requiring you to maintain a Federal Legal Semi-Auto cycle of the trigger for each shot you fire. Faster than a Bump Stock and different than an FRT Forced Reset Trigger.
The ARIZONA REGULATOR is a direct engagement system that is constructed of aircraft grade aluminum with heat treated tool steel cams, Mil-Spec stainless steel axis pins and an aerospace grade top cam buffer. The engineering and construction gives the ARIZONA REGULATOR a robust function and ultimate reliability. Long term durability and reliability is our number one priority.
The ARIZONA REGULATOR is fast and easy to put in and take out of your AR rifle or pistol making it a very handy part of your kit to say the least. Once setup simply pop rear take down pin, tip open receiver, put ARIZONA REGULATOR in, tip receiver closed, push rear take down pin back into place.
This makes the ARIZONA REGULATOR the best solution as it differs from a traditional FRT Forced Reset Trigger pack or any other FRT like item. Unlike a traditional FRT Forced Rest Trigger pack or FRT like item you do not need to carry tools and extra parts to change out when you want to use it or to take it out when you don't want to use it. Giving you the ultimate in flexibility to fit your needs.
The ARIZONA REGULATOR does not change the external appearance of your AR platform rifle or pistol. It pops in and out in seconds with no tools required at the range or in the field. When you do not want to use it you can put it in your shirt pocket and easily put it back into your AR when you want to use it.

Wall of Fame - August 2025
ARIZONA REGULATOR no longer endorses AR15 dot com. I crucified a known Federal Agent whom appears to be running what smells and looks alot like a Ray Epps J6 or 'Patriot Front' type Operation over there. Fukery commenced which I have documented and shall deal with in the near future. It looks and smells like AR15 dot com is as infested as Twitter used to be before Musk unfucked that shit show. Standby for multiple FOIA Requests.
In short was banned for doing the right thing for America and the 2A. I have all proof in hand of why this assessment has been made and how I uncovered all of this. Its notable my Camera Man is a Retired Chicago PD Lieutenant. He is as Freedom Minded as all of us. The man sells me his used guns when hes done playing with them and he was also apprised in real time back then of all the bullshit that folks are parroting now that happened 5 years ago. If I were anything like the Defamatory Statements being made on the Interweb that man would not have anything to do with me. Not to mention the Hundreds of Men in Business in Phx that I have dealt with for the past 20 years, all of which will issue Affidavit attesting to my Honest and Honorable ways. thats alot of Charachter Witnesses folks. See you in Valhalla. R/S J.D.
