Indianapolis, Indiana - Alexander Clark, 28, of Franklin, has been sentenced to two years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, after his guilty plea for multiple firearms offenses, including the making of a firearm in violation of the National Firearms Act, possession of an unregistered firearm, and possession of a machine gun.

Key Points

• Alexander Clark's case was brought to attention following his involvement in the private sale of firearms.
• Investigations revealed that over the course of a month, Clark sold five Glock-style pistols with frames produced using a 3-D printer, a 3-D printed AR-15 rifle lower receiver, and two machine gun conversion devices.
• These conversion devices, commonly known as “Glock switches” or “auto-sears,” can transform semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic machine guns. Under federal law, these devices are classified as machine guns and are illegal to possess or sell in nearly all cases.
• On August 22, 2022, agents from the ATF executed a search warrant at Clark's residence. The search resulted in the discovery of multiple firearms, machine guns, silencers, firearm accessories, and a 3-D printer along with other electronic devices.
• Clark was found in possession of seven machine guns, 27 machine gun conversion devices, and seven silencers, none of which were registered legally.
