\u00a0 In sentencing papers filed in court, prosecutors argued that Bradford \u201chas been involved in manufacturing guns for years\u201d and that the number of guns he \u201cwas manufacturing was not insubstantial and he was working to arm himself as well as others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bradford also posted links and instruction manuals on Telegram concerning hand grenades, biological warfare, and the \u201cAryan Revolution,\u201d at times offering to make firearms and firearm parts for others using 3-D printers.<\/span><\/p>\n
