was also convicted of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute
A news release from Kirkpatrick’s office says Munsinger was a member of the Aryan Freedom Network
Law enforcement seized a total of five firearms
including two personally made semiautomatic rifles
Hundreds of rounds and casings of ammunition
multiple high-capacity magazines and other firearm accessories
and a tactical bullet-resistant vest were also seized
Officers also discovered more than 5 pounds of marijuana in heat-sealed packages
a marijuana grow operation and $24,300 cash in $100-bill denominations
Because Munsinger has prior felony convictions
he was prohibited from legally possessing firearms or ammunition
Munsinger was convicted in 2007 for first-degree possession of narcotics and in 2009 for third-degree sale of narcotics
authorities alleged that Munsinger told someone he wanted to convert a handgun capable of firing rounds that can pierce light armor into a rifle
He also discussed explosives and said he could make explosive booby traps
Munsinger is also alleged to have stated that he could conduct an “accelerationist attack” and that he was capable of killing
He claimed that after his release from prison
he went to the prosecutor’s house at night “and observed the prosecutor sleeping in a bed." Munsinger said he pointed at shotgun at the prosecutor but decided not to pull the trigger
Munsinger stated he did the same thing to his ex-wife’s boyfriend
according to the allegations in the complaint
Conversations were secretly recorded at a firing range in Redwood County
Munsinger spoke of having built nearly 100 firearms
as well as a desire to conduct nefarious activity at George Floyd Square
“The safety and security of Minnesotans is of the utmost importance to my office
We will ensure Munsinger — and all others who bring violence and drugs to Minnesota — sees federal justice,” Kirkpatrick said in announcing the jury verdict
“A convicted felon with a cache of firearms
ammunition and drugs is a clear threat to public safety,” Special Agent in Charge Alvin M
"The FBI and our partners will not tolerate individuals who break the law and promote extremist views that incite violence
we will continue to disrupt violent extremists and prevent convicted felons from arming themselves and endangering others.”
After a five-day jury trial before Judge John R
Munsinger was convicted of one count of being a felon in possession of firearms
one count of being a felon in possession of ammunition
and one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute
This case is the result of an investigation by the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force
