Speed contended the devices are \u201csolvent traps\u201d to collect excess liquid that spills out when a gun is cleaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutors said while the company selling the devices marketed them as solvent traps, they are designed to be easily converted into silencers, which is why people spend more than $300 for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The devices bought by Speed are made of titanium and contain baffles that would be found on silencers. They can be screwed onto the threaded barrel of a 9 mm handgun. A firearms expert for the government said it takes about 10 minutes to convert the device into a fully functional silencer by using a hand drill to make a hole in the end for a bullet to pass through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutors said Speed obtained the silencers during a post-Capitol riot panic-buying spree in which he spent more than $40,000 on firearms, ammunition and accessories. He bought the solvent traps in March 2021 after learning that the delivery of several silencers he had just purchased would be significantly delayed by paperwork and registration requirements, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speed\u2019s lawyers, though, contended that the devices were indeed solvent traps, not silencers. They said Speed never modified the devices to make them functional as silencers, and that he had no intent to break the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defense urged jurors to ignore Speed\u2019s antisemitic philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSome of Mr. Speed\u2019s thoughts may be distasteful but his conduct in this case was not criminal,\u201d defense lawyer Courtney Dixon told jurors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutors played recordings in which Speed told an undercover FBI employee that he understood the devices\u2019 true purpose was as a silencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutors said the law governing silencers covers devices intended for use as a silencer, regardless of whether they are functional or sold under another name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe law does not allow that kind of gamesmanship,\u201d prosecutor Thomas Traxler said in closing arguments Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has shut down and seized several websites that sold solvent traps, including the one from which Speed purchased his devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speed was taken into custody after Wednesday\u2019s verdict and awaits sentencing in April. Each of the three counts contains a potential maximum sentence of 10 years. While Speed is unlikely to receive a maximum sentence, it\u2019s likely that the sentence will exceed any term that is imposed on him for his participation in the Jan. 6 attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His lawyer, public defender Brooke Rupert, said Hatch intends to appeal the verdict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speed is scheduled to go on trial in that case in Washington, D.C., later this year. The case involves five counts, including disorderly conduct in the Capitol and obstructing an official proceeding. His lawyers there have filed a motion seeking to limit evidence to the jury about Speed\u2019s ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speed is among more than 940 people arrested in connection with the riot in which former President Donald Trump\u2019s supporters stormed the Capitol while Congress was certifying President Joe Biden\u2019s 2020 election victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A jury has convicted a Navy reservist from Virginia accused of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 on separate charges that he illegally
