Marcelo Manuel Maysonet, 24, of Orlando, has pleaded guilty to possessing unregistered National Firearms Act (NFA) weapons, including a machine gun and 15 machine gun conversion devices.
Law enforcement discovered the illegal devices and a modified AR-style pistol during a search of Maysonet’s residence. Machine gun conversion devices are illegal modifications that transform semi-automatic weapons into fully automatic weapons.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a collaborative effort between law enforcement agencies and communities aimed at reducing violent crime and gun violence.
