Santa Clara man charged with threatening state Senator Yee
~snip~
The 12-count complaint states that Basham made the threat while he was armed with a Barrett .416-caliber rifle and also possessed a Franchi SPAS-12 rifle and other illegal assault weapons with detachable magazines and center-fire cartridges.
Basham is also accused of having a "modified bird bomb" that was greater than .60-caliber, which is a felony, prosecutors said. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives describes bird bombs as explosive pest control devices.
Basham also allegedly had other materials with the intent to make explosives, prosecutors said.
He is further alleged to have a forged driver's license he intended to use to commit a forgery and carried a loaded 9mm Sig Sauer pistol while in a vehicle in a public place, prosecutors said.
Basham allegedly emailed death threats four weeks ago to Yee. The state senator said in a statement that the email said, "If I did not cease our legislative efforts to stop gun violence that he would assassinate me in or around the Capitol."
