A judge has claimed a white supremacist obsessed with guns, sex and death could be the next Port Arthur mass murderer Martin Bryant and ruled he should remain in custody.
NSW District Court judge Jeffrey McLennan on Friday said Michael Holt had to be regarded as "extremely dangerous".
Holt, 27, has pleaded guilty to a string of firearm and child pornography offences after being caught hoarding a number of homemade guns.
Judge McLennan expressed serious concerns about Holt's chances of rehabilitation given he'd sent text messages talking about how he needed to kill people.
One text message read: "Gonna have to start killing if I don't get laid soon."
Defence barrister Neha Evans objected to the text messages being tendered as evidence, saying they were just the rants of a troubled young man with autism spectrum disorder.
Judge McLellan said it would look like a ''shocking error of judgment'' on his part if he accepted Holt would never kill but he then went out and did just that.
Holt was remanded to be sentenced on September 29.
