El Dorado男子持装转换开关的Glock手枪判41个月：FBI检验确认手枪因开关具备机关枪功能
美国司法部阿肯色西区检察官办公室公布，El Dorado 一名男子10月28日被判处41个月联邦监禁，罪名是持有一支机关枪。案件在位于 Arkansas 州 El Dorado 的联邦地区法院审理，由法官 John Thomas Shepherd 主持量刑听证。
被告 Kelvin Markei Gilmore Jr.，21岁。据法庭文件，El Dorado 警局警员当时正持一份有效的重罪逮捕令寻找 Gilmore；2024年11月30日，警员发现他驾驶一辆牌照过期的车辆，搜查车辆时查获一支 Glock 9毫米手枪，枪上装有俗称「switch」的转换开关，并配有大容量弹匣。
联邦调查局（FBI）随后对这支枪作了检验，确认由于装上了这个开关，这支手枪的射击功能已经构成机关枪。
阿肯色西区检察官 Kevin R. Holmes 宣布了这一判决。案件由 El Dorado 警局与 FBI 调查，助理检察官 Trent Daniels 负责起诉。
司法部表示，此案属「安全社区计划」（Project Safe Neighborhoods）的一部分；该计划由各联邦检察官办公室协调，是司法部在全国范围打击暴力犯罪的举措之一。
El Dorado Man Sentenced to 41 Months for Machinegun Possession: FBI Testing Confirmed His Switch-Equipped Glock Functioned as a Machinegun
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Arkansas announced that an El Dorado man was sentenced on October 28, 2026, to 41 months in federal prison on one count of possession of a machinegun. The Honorable Judge John Thomas Shepherd presided over the sentencing hearing in the United States District Court in El Dorado.
The defendant is Kelvin Markei Gilmore Jr., age 21. According to court documents, officers with the El Dorado Police Department were seeking the arrest of Gilmore on an active felony warrant. On November 30, 2024, officers observed Gilmore operating a vehicle with expired tags.
Officers searched the vehicle and located a Glock 9mm equipped with a 'switch' and a high-capacity magazine. A subsequent examination of the firearm by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed that, as a result of the switch, the firearm functioned as a machinegun.
United States Attorney Kevin R. Holmes of the Western District of Arkansas made the announcement. The El Dorado Police Department and the FBI investigated the case, and Assistant United States Attorney Trent Daniels prosecuted it.
The Justice Department said the case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), its nationwide initiative, coordinated by U.S. Attorneys' offices in each federal district, to combat violent crime and make communities safer.
