A Miami man with alleged gang ties has been indicted after being found with a cache of firearms, including two pistols that had been converted into machine guns, federal authorities said Monday.

Ty’ree Dixon, 22, was approached by law enforcement officers on May 17 during an investigation into gang-related crime and fraud, the Justice Department said. Prosecutors said he has ties to the "Bloods" gang and the local "77 Street" gang.

During the encounter, the officers discovered he was allegedly armed with a Glock 20 and a 10mm. semi-automatic handgun with an extended magazine.

During a search of his home, a large amount of ammunition was discovered along with three Glock semi-automatic pistols, a Century Arms International AK-style pistol and two pistols that had been converted into machine guns using "switch" devices, prosecutors said.

The "switch" devices allow handguns to fire multiple rounds with each pull of the trigger, making the weapon fully automatic, authorities said.

Dixon was initially charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. On May 21, a federal judge ordered him held without bond pending his trial.



On June 1, a federal grand jury indicted Dixon on two counts each of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition and illegally possessing a machine gun.

He is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court on June 16. He faces up to 40 years in federal prison.

Maybe he's a collector

Trampled all over his second amendment rights.

Felons lost their 2nd Amendment rights when they became felons.

Thats it all right-pass a law-make you a felon and take your so called rights.

Down here you have to “earn” the title of felon. I’m 53 and somehow still haven’t earned it so it must be hard to acquire.

I thought they did that with bumpstocks?March 26 2019?

All the charges don't mean jack until he's prosecuted, held accountable, and sentenced to full extent of the Law. . . . which in today's World is unlikely. :-(

Not really, you just haven't (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) off the right people yet. Seriously, the US has more opportunities to acquire that title than any other nation on the planet.

What's a large amount of ammunition?

where do YOUR rights to own firearms reside?

are you insinuating that felons in Canada still have those rights?

If somebody is so dangerous they can't have their civil rights, why are they released from prison or the mental hospital?

Now this could be a real bad guy. I have no clue. Dont know him. We all do know how the media twists things up. Anyway in my mind the lose your rights over a felony like pushing a cop away from you, or to many seat belt tickets or whatever, is wrong in all kinds of ways. Makes sense to me to keep dangerous people in cages. A dangerous person isnt hurting anyone when he/she is caged. Turn them loose and more laws wont stop them.


Politicians are well aware that laws wont stop them. So whats the real reason that even a misdemeanor can now strip you of your rights according to politicians?

Unfortunately Canadians don't have "Rights" they just have privileges bestowed upon them by the Crown. Privileges can be withdrawn, rights can't be withdrawn since they are bestowed by God.

P.S. Kansas gave released felons a horse, a gun and ten dollars in the late 1800's.

I'm guessing he was a fine Scandinavian fella?

You're living in dreamland.Your so called "right" is obviously no different than our priviledge.

Or you could just be Canadian.

Our right is if you are a law bidding citizen and comply with the rules you are good to go 😊

I know one person who earned a felony fishing for a living, and another for getting in a bar fight (unarmed), so it's not too terrible hard to "earn" one.

Ty’ree was not an downtrodden civilian. He was a 22 year old black man that had been in and out of prison since he was 17.

Boco I really don’t understand your animosity towards U.S. BILL OF RIGHTS ? Serious question, why? Ty’ree didn’t have some made up laws fabricated for him to break so he would loose his 2nd Amendment rights.
He is a hardcore ( based on his prison record) gang affiliated gun runner that needs to be incarcerated till he is a grey haired old man.
