Multiple sources state that New York bans forced reset triggers as rapid-fire modification devices, with possession a class A misdemeanor, and none contradicts this. The sources do not separately address manufacture, transport, or sale, and the post's wording matches the extracted claim, so the verdict is true at moderate confidence.
A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

Supports. A state-law summary cites N.Y. Penal Law § 265.00(26) and § 265.01-c and lists New York as banning forced reset triggers as rapid-fire modification devices, with criminal possession a class A misdemeanor.[3]
Supports. Giffords says New York bans knowing possession of rapid-fire modification devices, including any device designed to accelerate the rate of fire of a semi-automatic weapon, and that violation is a class A misdemeanor.[4]
Supports. A firearms retailer's shipping policy lists New York among roughly sixteen states that independently ban forced reset triggers, and it refuses to ship to them.[5]
Context. The New York bill text defines a forced reset trigger as a device that lets a semi-automatic weapon fire more than one shot per continuous trigger pull, and the bill would add auto-sears and FRTs to the state's rapid-fire modification device definition.[1][2]
Context. The federal May 2025 settlement does not override state law, and sources note that New York still prohibits FRTs separately from federal law.[6][7]
