ALBANY – A 43-year-old Kerhonkson man pled guilty on Tuesday in Albany federal court to unlawfully possessing a rifle as a previously convicted felon.
Bram Fox also admitted to manufacturing and possessing several dozen firearms, which law enforcement seized from his home earlier this year.
Fox admitted that from October 2020 until January 2023, he purchased firearm parts from several online retailers; had the items shipped to his residence where he assembled them into non-serialized handguns and rifles or ghost guns.
Fox also acquired several serialized firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition, including an Aero Precision M5 rifle.
Fox has felony convictions in New York and Connecticut, including a 2009 conviction for an armed bank robbery, that prevents him from lawfully possessing a rifle, and other firearms and ammunition.
Fox, who has been in custody since his arrest on January 31, faces up to 15 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 and up to three years of post-release supervision.
He also agreed to abandon, to the ATF, all firearms, ammunition, firearms parts and related items that were seized from his residence and formerly in his possession, including more than 25 firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
