Operation Texas Kill Switch
Federal prosecutors and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are taking aim at devices that can turn legal firearms into illegal machine guns.
U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas Jaime Esparza and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Robert Topper for the ATF Houston Field Division announced a joint initiative, “Operation Texas Kill Switch,” at a Monday morning press conference. The operation’s target is machine gun conversion devices, commonly known as “switches,” and the people who possess, manufacture, or sell them.
The U.S. Attorneys for the Northern, Southern, and Eastern Districts are also involved in the initiative.
The ATF has been warning of the increased prevalence of the devices, which can be made of metal or plastic and even printed with 3D printers.
