From the artiicle:

In July 2004, Burgert pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess illegal firearms, possession of a machine gun and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Federal prosecutors argued he led a group that amassed machine guns and explosives. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Burgert had been arrested in February 2002 after a standoff and a chase. He had a machine gun when he was arrested, and authorities found thousands of rounds of ammunition and homemade explosives while searching sites associated with Project 7.

At the time, officials in Flathead County in far northwestern Montana said that Project 7 also conspired to kill local police officers, judges and county prosecutors.

NBC station KCFW reported that authorities in 2002 discovered a hit list of government officials who Burgert hoped to assassinate.

Hmmm... Did he kill any? If not, why not?

I'm calling "BS"!

Sounds like a harmless big mouth who likes things that go "bang." .

... It's the quiet ones you have to worry about...

That is quite a list of accusations for a guy who is free and not doing several life sentences. Makes you wonder how strong those accusations were.
