Chicago rapper King Lil Jay just got hit with a 9-year federal prison sentence after being caught with a Glock equipped with a switch back in 2022—while he was still on probation. That switch turns a regular handgun into a fully automatic weapon, which is a serious federal offense.
This case highlights the severe legal consequences associated with possessing such devices. For instance, in a separate case, a Bloomington, Illinois, man was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for possessing a similar Glock “switch.”
Lil Jay’s situation is a tough reminder that illegal firearm modifications come with heavy consequences, especially for those already in the system. Similar cases have led to harsh sentences, showing just how seriously law enforcement is cracking down on these devices.
