The Trump administration's Justice Department, as part of the settlement of a lawsuit by the National Association for Gun Rights, is reversing a policy from the first Trump administration. The new policy will allow the sale of forced-reset trigger devices. These devices, while allowing a rifle or handgun to fire rapidly, do not alter the actual operation of the gun in any way; it still requires one actuation of the trigger to fire one and only one round.

And, as we might expect, the legacy media doesn't report this accurately. //

The Trump administration has not legalized machine guns, and we must note, actual machine guns are still legal for law-abiding citizens to own, if they are willing to invest the considerable costs and leap through a few government hoops that have been in place since 1934.

These devices do not alter the operation of a weapon. Any semi-auto rifle or handgun with one of these attached functions, as it was designed: One shot per trigger pull.
