The dude had been prohibited from owning a gun after domestic abuse against his girlfriend.

He tried to buy one anyway and failed a background check.

He bought gun parts and a 3D printer.

Police heard him firing in the woods, when told to put the gun down he told them he was CIA.

Officers inspected McGinnis' backpack and discovered a hit list titled "9/11/2001 list of American Terrorists" that included the names of both Democratic and Republican federal lawmakers.

That's why he was jailed. Not just because he had "a 3d printed gun".
