if you read the article you’d see something more onerous than scribble...

List of items seized by law enforcement officials on January 17:

Eight operational improvised explosive devices (IEDs)
One partially constructed trip-wire IED
Two loaded AR-15 style ghost gun assault weapons, each with a detachable magazine, muzzle compensator and threaded barrel
Two loaded 9 mm semiautomatic ghost gun pistols
Two loaded 9 mm semiautomatic 3D printed ghost gun pistols
One partially constructed AK-47 style ghost gun
Over 600 rounds of ammunition for each of the firearms above
One 3D printer
Three sets of body armor
Six additional AR/pistol lower receivers
29 high-capacity ammunition feeding devices, 13 of which were personally manufactured utilizing a 3D printer
Tools to assemble ghost guns
Metal knuckles
A radio set to the frequency of the 114th Precinct in Astoria
Several electronic devices (phones, computer)
Numerous notebooks containing instructions on the manufacture of explosive devices and anarchist related propaganda
Explosive residue, and components to manufacture additional IEDs
Nine pyrotechnic smoke bombs
Prosecutors did not indicate if the Hatziagelis brothers were part of a terrorist organization.

Both were indicted on 130 counts of criminal possession of a weapon and related charges.

Both men face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

They’re expected in court on February 15.

I’m sure the leftists in Big Media and Big Government want you to find that list “onerous”.

This is the only thing on the list that I have an issue with (However, we all should be fully aware that the FBI will lie and exaggerate and just make things up)If they were actually assembling "IEDs", and doing so could not accidently harm any innocent neighbors, I really don't care.
Eight operational improvised explosive devices (IEDs)
One partially constructed trip-wire IED

All the rest of this would be completely legal in a reasonably free country:
Two loaded AR-15 style ghost gun assault weapons, each with a detachable magazine, muzzle compensator and threaded barrel
Two loaded 9 mm semiautomatic ghost gun pistols
Two loaded 9 mm semiautomatic 3D printed ghost gun pistols
One partially constructed AK-47 style ghost gun
Over 600 rounds of ammunition for each of the firearms above
One 3D printer
Three sets of body armor
Six additional AR/pistol lower receivers
29 high-capacity ammunition feeding devices, 13 of which were personally manufactured utilizing a 3D printer
Tools to assemble ghost guns
Metal knuckles
A radio set to the frequency of the 114th Precinct in Astoria Several electronic devices (phones, computer)
Numerous notebooks containing instructions on the manufacture of explosive devices and anarchist related propaganda

Again, given the FBI's tendency to like and manufacture charges out of thin air, my only concern would be if they had nearby neighbors they could harm with improper handling of the following. Explosive residue, and components to manufacture additional IEDs
Nine pyrotechnic smoke bombs

“AR-15 style ghost gun assault weapons”

Got drama? Got all the trigger words there.
