"Switch Hitters"
Decent police work still gets done on occassion:
When Alonzo Velasco sold an undercover officer machine-gun conversion devices outside his Chicago apartment building in the summer of 2023, he pointed out that he could get more — a whole lot more.
According to federal prosecutors, Velasco delivered the officer nearly 20 tiny “switches” that turn handguns into fully automatic weapons that can fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull. They’ve been used in many mass shootings here in recent years.
In a series of deals, the officer paid $5,250 for the switches, and Velasco said he could get dozens more from his supplier, according to court records. He also explained how the switches can turn handguns into “choppers,” slang for machine guns, the complaint said.
[...] The investigation resulted in the recovery of 64 switch devices and 171 guns, many of which were linked to shootings, killings and other “violent criminal activity” dating back to 2017. The switches, officially known as “auto sears,” are also called buttons on the street.
The federal charges might put this guy away for a while.

Unless and until these characters go to prison for 10 years PER SWITCH/BUTTON/Auto-Sear - served consecutively. Zero parole, early release, etc. nothing's going to change. They're 3D printable.
CPD should let officers carry Glock model 18.
Great work, but who is His supplier? Hopefully that will be the subject of the next press release.
They work really well in the hood don’t see any issues with more bodies
When his prison time is complete....deport him.
Thought this post was about something else at first……..
Hey, it's Chicago. He'll walk under the no cash bail required rules.
In court they'll just drop the charges. Maybe give him some community service at the very most.
...trolling for the Kessing Bandit ....Maybe...huh,...for a friend ??
He is facing Federal charges.
Much like me when I visited the "Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum" in West Virginia...
Buzz buzz buzz fly the lead bugs
Bang bang bang sounds the drum
Pop pop pop goes the weasles
And the nights they be filled
With the screams those not killed
It's the melodies of times
So distinct so sublime
As a summons to the blind
Of realities of crimes
Civilian here - Why are you not already allowed to carry that model?
Always been a Sig guy myself
Keesing Bandit?
Good job.
False Alarm ( actually False Excitement)! As soon as I saw “ Switch Hitter” I immediately thought of SCC’s favorite “ Switch Hitter”: The Keesing Bandit, and his World- famous white wine spritzers.
Spot on.
Was UC ours or the Feds.
A soon to be closed (again) Chinese company, sending them to the US at reduced postage rates and limited tariffs courtesy of the many Chinese-bought Congressmen.
John in Indy
