The government is abusing the justice system to imprison anyone that represents even a low level threat to it. That is a hallmark of some of the worst regimes in the history of the world. Regardless of his sentence, they have achieved their purpose: to make sure that Americans believe, incorrectly, that it is illegal to protect their rights when the government wants to encroach them.
They convicted this guy largely on a technicality - that they happened to mention that they would be using the knowledge he was teaching them illegally. Even that is a stretch of the law. Next we'll have DEA agents walking into 7-11's buying skittles and Arizona watermelon fruit juice, saying the word "lean" to the checkout person, then indicting the 7-11 organization for complicity in illegal drug manufacturing if they sell the items.
