SALEM - A 23-year-old Salem man has pleaded guilty in federal court to the unlawful possession of machineguns, according to a statement earlier this week from the U.S. Attorneys Office in Concord.

According to court documents and statements made in court, on February 16, 2022, law enforcement agents executed a search warrant at the home of Kyle Morris. During the search, agents seized multiple firearms, including a Palmetto State Armory rifle and a Brownells Inc. rifle. Both firearms had been converted into machineguns.

Evidence obtained during the investigation, including from a search of the defendant's cellphone, showed that Morris had researched how to convert firearms into machineguns.

Morris is scheduled to be sentenced on April 6.
