Binary Triggers Legal Or Nah?

So, I've been digging into the whole binary trigger thing and I'm honestly a bit confused. I moved to Oregon not too long ago and I really want to make sure I'm following all the laws correctly. From what I gather, some places have strict regulations, but I've heard mixed things about them being legal here.

I guess it's just one of those things where you never want to risk getting into trouble over a toy you thought was cool. I was at the range last weekend, and a buddy mentioned how fun they are for shooting sport, but didn't say if they're on the up-and-up legally.

Have any of you guys checked into this? I'd love to know if anyone's gone through the process or knows someone who has. Just trying to make sure I dodge any legal patches with my new hobby!
 
The thing I don;t like about BiNary triggers is that there is to way to not fire the second round upon release of the trigger. There is no way to turn that second shot off. While it would be cool for a range toy, I don't see any practical advantage to having one.
 
For those of us that served and actually shot full auto guns, many will tell you it's a waste. But for people who haven't, it's either a just for fun thing or they think they are cool. I love 30 and 40 round mags, but I am of the thought that conserving ammo is best and making each pull of the trigger count.
 
I fired both the M14 and the M16A1 full auto and first thought it wa fun because I did not have to pay for the ammo. I have contemplated getting a binary trigger for a Ruger 10-22, but the price of the trigger, and the cost of the ammunition made me think twice. At 77 yrs. old I just cannot justify it.
