(Reuters) - A Wisconsin man who sent an anti-government manifesto to U.S. President Donald Trump was found guilty by a federal jury on Tuesday of stealing an arsenal of weapons from a gun shop.

Joseph Jakubowski, 32, was arrested in April after a massive manhunt following his theft of 18 guns and two silencers from the shop. Before the crime, he mailed a 161-page manifesto to Trump, criticizing government officials and voicing “anti-religious views,” according to investigators.

Jakubowski faces up to 10 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines for each count of stealing from a licensed firearm dealer and being a felon in possession of a firearm, said Kyle Frederickson, a deputy clerk at the district court, in a phone call.

Jakubowski is set to be sentenced on Dec. 20 at U.S. District Court in Madison, Wisconsin.

1. What? No Help On His Defense From The NRA? nt

2. Being that the NRA is the gun manufacturers' lobby, I wouldn't expect any

Now...if he would have BOUGHT enough guns to raise his own infantry company, they'd have been right beside him. But stealing them? Different story!
