The "micro conversion" is something like this:
Which will take your pistol and give it a brace, turning into something like a sub-machine gun. Not fully automatic.

A bullet hit Austin’s left arm and traveled through his chest, lungs, and all the way to his right arm, according to Tarrant County Medical Examiner Kendall Crowns.
An hour after police responded to the scene at the apartment complex, Austin’s neighbor, 21-year-old Gabriel Nathaniel Brown, turned himself in to the police. He told police he did not commit a crime, but that he shot Austin by accident. The events leading up to the shooting
According to police reports, Brown told investigators that he had just received a micro conversion kit for his pistol.
A micro conversion kit is used to turn a firearm into an automatic weapon, described by Brown as a “submachine gun.”
Brown stated that the night before Austin was found shot in his apartment, Brown was trying to install the kit when the weapon fired.
He told police that he had just recently received the pistol and never fired it before. He called his father on the night of Sept. 15, 2021, while he was installing the kit and was “showing it off,” Brown’s sister told police.
“I put the conversion kit on and I guess one got stuck in the head because I never pulled the trigger but it dislodged,” Brown said. His girlfriend and sister also were in the apartment next to Austin’s, where Brown lived with his girlfriend, at the time he discharged the gun.
“I honestly don’t know what happened because I am not very familiar with guns. I’m going to be completely honest with you, that was my first handgun purchase,” Brown told police. “Like I said, this is a complete accident.”

Wow, what are the odds?
The shooter should be behind bars for many years.
Stupid should hurt. If his story checks out, that he’s just a novice with guns, then still... Involuntary manslaughter 10 years
Where’s the ATF? Mere possession of one of those switches carries a five year prison sentence in a Federal penitentiary.

There ARE people who should not be permitted to be anywhere near a firearm. They think they know it all, have no desire to learn how the weapon operates, no desire to take a safety and marksmanship class from a professional firearms instructor. Every member of our gun club is a NRA-Certified Range Safety Officer. The stuff I see at public ranges is scary. Typically a buncha yahoos in “tactical” came dress trying to impress their girlfriends or old guys who think they know it all, but refer to pistol magazines as “clips.”
Interesting sentence. Nine days each on victim’s birthday and on date of shooting for five years.
“The shooter should be behind bars for many years.”
He will have to go to jail 2x a year for 5 years.
Apartments these days you can just punch thru.
He had Rob Biden (AKA Hunter) send in his forms.
I really believe it was an accident, but it was caused by gross stupidity and carelessness. Yeah, he should do major time, but not a death sentence.
Restorative justice. Soros prosecutors in the ‘hood have stopped enforcing the laws against Glocks with auto switches because too many black men like Gabriel Brown illegally possess them.
If a white guy has one, that’s five years in the pen.
“Mere possession of one of those switches carries a five year prison sentence in a Federal penitentiary.”
Up to ten years. Plus up to $250,000 fine.
Exactly. But we need more laws to not enforce...
And where is the investigation into who sold this yahoo parts to convert a semi-auto into a fully automatic firearm? Doesn’t BATFE want to shut down a WMD pipeline fueling “block party” shoot-em-ups?
If the family of the murdered child desire justice, it will be a DYI project.
Mishandling of a loaded gun. Possession of machine gun parts. Kills a guy. 90days? in Texas?
Tarrant County
Probably don’t want to visit Ft Worth, or Austin, or Houston, or Dallas...they don’t have prosecutors familiar with the law and generally just wing it.
Machine gun parts is a FEDERAL crime. How does he skate on that?
“How does he skate on that?”
Maybe he’s related to Hunter Biden somehow.
