According to the affidavit, the 22-year-old wrote a note demanding that money be deposited to a PayPal account, threatening that "if this account doesn't reach $50,000 in the next 7 days then a murderous rampage

 

That sounds like a threat to me!

To prove the attempt, you must show that he had the plan and took a "substantial step" toward the completion of that plan.

 

He wrote the note (plan) but never delivered the note (thus no threat made.) He then took a substantial step (procuring the weapons) thus can be charged with the attempt.

 

I will send you my bill Arch.

In order for this to be categorized as domestic terrorism, the government must show that his intent was to coerce the conduct of government. If I were the prosecuter, I'd avoid the terrorism card.
