Title: Fostech Echo 2 trigger $420

Im selling a brand new, in the box, fostech echo 2 trigger. It works just like a binary trigger, except it is more well designed so theres no hammer follow. It is an extremely reliable trigger and a way better alternative to bumpstocks, since they are legal/controllable. If you buy it from me, youre saving $80+ since they are around $500 w/ shipping.

Since this is in GD, that trigger is such a steam punk contraption. $400!!!. A Knights or Milazzo trigger is not that much.
So when you press the trigger does it output a 1 or 0 and when release 1 or 0?

[§134-8.5]  Bump fire stock, multiburst trigger activator, or trigger crank; prohibition.  (a)  Any person in this State who manufactures or
causes to be manufactured, imports into the State, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives, lends, or possesses any
bump fire stock, multiburst trigger activator, or trigger crank shall be guilty of a class C felony.

     (b)  As used in this section:

     "Bump fire stock" means a butt stock designed to be attached to a semiautomatic firearm and designed, made, or altered to increase
the rate of fire achievable with such firearm by using energy from the recoil of the firearm to generate a reciprocating action that facilitates
repeated activation of the trigger.

     "Multiburst trigger activator" means:

     (1)  A device that simulates automatic gunfire by allowing standard function of a semiautomatic firearm with a static positioned trigger
finger or a device that fires multiple shots with the pull and release of the trigger; or

     (2)  A manual or power-driven trigger activating device constructed and designed so that when attached to a semiautomatic firearm it
simulates automatic gunfire.

     "Trigger crank" means any device to be attached to a semiautomatic firearm that repeatedly activates the trigger of the firearm through
the use of a lever or other part that is turned in a circular motion, but does not include any firearm initially designed and manufactured to
fire through the use of a crank or lever. [L 2018, c 157, §1]

I interpret that to include binary triggers, which this item certainly is.

It outputs either a 1 or 0 so law no apply

What does that mean: outputs either a 1 or 0?

If the trigger fires on pull and release, that's 11, not 00.

Firing on "Pull & release"  == illegal.

The trigger has been sold. No, it is not illegal. The company has approval from the atf. There are two functions of the trigger when you pull and release. Some state laws prohibit it, but Hawaii does not

The ATF letter simply gives an opinion that the Echo does not create a "machine gun."

If state law prohibits binary triggers, that's aside from any ATF opinion.

As I posted already, Hawaii law is as vague as usual, but it does prohibit "a device that fires multiple shots with the pull and release of the trigger".

Pull --> fire &  Release --> fire.

Should research who you sold it too very well before it changes hands.  Could save you a couple years of agony.  I don't like the Hawaii law and I think it should be legal.  The ATF letter does not apply to the Hawaii law.

Thank you all for the concerns. It has not exchanged hands, and more research will be done on my part. I hate how this state harasses law abiding gun owners.

This is a risky topic to post in public.  OP, you have probably attracted attention you don't want.  I would turn in that device and let it go and not exchange hands with someone else that you could put in legal jeopardy or find out the hard way that the buyer is an undercover.

No, im just new to 2aHawaii and tapatalk. I made a fat mistake listing it in GD, at least I know i made a mistake now. Hopefully police dont try to intentionally set anyone up, especially in tough financial times like now. Thank you all for the responses. I didnt know Hawaii had such a strong 2A backing

ATF:  That AR-15 after-market part is legal.
