Samuel Fisher, 33, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in jail on Monday after pleading guilty to one count of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
New York City's Joint Terrorism Task Force seized the weapons from Fisher as part of an investigation into his alleged involvement two weeks after the January 6 riot.
Agents found an AR-15 style rifle, a pistol, a shotgun, 11 pre-loaded high-capacity ammunition magazines, tactical gear, two machetes and a knife at his Upper East Side apartment.
The dating coach, who advertised his services under the pseudonym Bradley Holiday online, was charged last year with 17 counts of possession of a weapon.
Fisher, who is set to go to federal trial later this year, told the Manhattan Supreme court on Monday that he regretted his actions.
'I know what I did was wrong and I accept that my actions have consequences,' he said before being taken into custody.
Prosecutors initially sought a four-year sentence, while Fisher's attorney asked for a three-and-a-half-year prison that recognized his 'substance abuse and mental health struggles.'
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said that Fisher is 'a dangerous conspiracy theorist who participated in one of the gravest attacks on our democracy.'
'Not only did he threaten to commit violence against his fellow citizens, he had the potential to follow through with his arsenal of advanced weaponry and ammunition,' Bragg said in a statement.
Fisher is scheduled for a status conference for his federal case on May 5. He faces one count of entering and remaining in a restricted building and one count of disorderly and disruptive conduct
Fisher was cornered by armed agents and handcuffed on a Manhattan sidewalk on January 20, two weeks after the riot.

No, it’s a YUGE CACHE. LOL! This assclown didn’t leave anything for the rest of us. Can we order some “pre-loaded” large capacity magazines? How dare he hoard so many weapons.
Imagine: An American Citizen with the Capacity to Commit Violence... Oh, the horror.../S.
A rifle, a pistol, and a shotgun is now an “arsenal”.
Lol. The machetes were the final straw.
The news outlets are making a fortune publishing deep state propaganda.
3 guns? That’s it? The man’s a piker.
Is this a joke? 3 weapons is enough for one person - what arsenal?
“3 guns is now an “arsenal”
I guess I qualify..........or not
Barely
If they knew what most people have they’d get a heart attack
Huge weapons cache? Meh!
That’s huge? Piffle. It’s a backwoods starter kit.
Huge weapons cache? No wonder the legislation these “experts” back is so incredibly stupid.
” It’s a backwoods starter kit.”
Yes, just minimum basic prepper stuff.
Yep. For a full starter kit he needs at least a .22 rifle and a hunting rifle.
“huge weapons cache”?
He had 3 guns and 11 mags. Before the tragic boating accident I had upwards of 80 guns and scores of mags as well as at least 10,000 rounds of ammo.
Yes I know. I needed more of both.
I guess I’ll have to get restarted after they were all lost forever in the aforementioned boating accident.
