    In that scenario the button is the trigger. Trigger is being used not to describe a curved piece of metal you put your finger on but the input device. The oral arguments had a lot around that issue.

        You’re correct went back and reread it:

        On weapons with these standard trigger mechanisms, the phrase “function of the trigger” means the physical trigger movement required to shoot the firearm. Pg. 7

        Although it sounds like there maybe be edge cases where specially designed firearms are treated differently if they lack a traditional mechanism.
