罗德岛州Johnston男子持有未登记消音器 对联邦枪支指控认罪
Providence—位于美国罗德岛州的 Johnston 镇居民 Alessio Dandrea，美国司法部11月9日宣布，这名30岁男子已在联邦法院对持有未登记消音器的联邦枪支指控认罪。
Dandrea 在联邦地区法官 Mary S. McElroy 面前承认两项持有未登记枪支罪。量刑定于2027年2月11日进行。
每项持有未登记枪支罪最高可判10年监禁、最高3年监管释放，并可处最高1万美元罚款。
据法庭文件，2023年6月14日，美国海关与边境保护局（CBP）截获一个自中国寄出、收件人为 Dandrea 的包裹。检查发现，包裹内有一件 AR-15 自动扳机部件，该装置被烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）归类为机枪部件，可把半自动 AR-15 式步枪改成自动武器。
其后，经法院授权，国土安全调查局（HSI）、ATF 与 Johnston 警局人员搜查了 Dandrea 的住所，查获6支枪与2支枪支消音器，其中一支装在步枪上。调查人员确认，两支消音器都没有按联邦法律要求以 Dandrea 的名义登记在国家枪支登记与转让记录中。
案件由 HSI、美国邮政检查局与 ATF 调查，Johnston 等多地警局协助，联邦助理检察官 G. Michael Seaman 与 Ronald Gendron 负责起诉。

Johnston, Rhode Island Man Pleads Guilty to Federal Firearms Charges Over Unregistered Silencers
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Alessio Dandrea, 30, of Johnston, Rhode Island, pleaded guilty in federal court on November 9 to federal firearms charges related to his possession of unregistered firearm silencers, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
Dandrea pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge Mary S. McElroy to two counts of possession of an unregistered firearm. He is scheduled to be sentenced on February 11, 2027.
Each count of possession of an unregistered firearm is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $10,000.
According to court documents, on June 14, 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection intercepted a parcel shipped from China and addressed to Dandrea. Inside was an AR-15 'lightning link' auto sear, a device classified by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) as a machine gun and designed to convert a semi-automatic AR-15-style rifle into an automatic weapon.
A court-authorized search of Dandrea's residence by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), ATF, and the Johnston Police Department resulted in the seizure of six firearms and two firearm silencers, one of which was attached to a rifle. Investigators determined that neither silencer was registered to Dandrea in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, as required by federal law.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys G. Michael Seaman and Ronald Gendron. The matter was investigated by HSI, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the ATF, with assistance from the Johnston, Warwick, Providence, Central Falls, and Pawtucket Police Departments.
