Brad Spafford was arrested on 17 December in Isle of Wight County, 180 miles (290km) south of Washington DC, after a tip-off that he was stockpiling weapons and homemade ammunition on the property he shares with his wife and two young children.
Investigators say some of the devices were found in a bedroom in an unsecured backpack labelled "#nolivesmatter" - an apparent reference to a far-right, anti-government movement.
So dumb like Stewart Rhodes. A Trumpist.Mr Spafford had allegedly used photos of US President Joe Biden for target practice and expressed hope that Vice-President Kamala Harris would be assassinated.
He had recently sought qualifications in sniper-rifle shooting at a local range, according to the court papers.
The charging document says an unnamed neighbour reported that Mr Spafford had continued to build bombs even after losing three fingers on his right hand in 2021 "while working with a homemade explosive device".
