“‘bump-fire stock’ means a butt stock designed to be attached to a semiautomatic firearm and intended to increase the rate of fire achievable with the firearm to that of a fully automatic firearm”
Vermont bans bump-fire stocks, and the definition is limited to butt stocks, so a forced reset trigger group is not covered. Vermont has no machine gun statute at all, and 2026 bills to add one along with rapid fire devices died.

Under the 2025 Justice Department settlement with Rare Breed Triggers, ATF no longer treats a forced reset trigger that fires one round per trigger function as a machine gun. That settles federal law only; a state can still ban FRTs under its own machine gun, rapid fire device or multiburst trigger statute.
