You can buy 100% receivers for 60.00 slap one together faster than reading this thread and the shittiest parts may surprise you vs high end it’s a great platform and a hell of a good time to shoot

I think there’s a very simple answer here: a credit card.

There's no reason for high end receivers, the best isn't much better than the average. I've got a PSA lower on one of mine, a Spikes Tactical on another. No difference.

But if you add drop in triggers, match grade barrels, upgraded buffer systems...it starts to get pricey.

I imagine credit cards


I’m not well versed in the ways of the poors, but don’t you have to have good credit to get a card with a high enough credit line to purchase expensive weapons and 1000+ rounds of ammunition?

No. I was getting mail for credit cards when I was a kid.

He did shoot her before stealing her truck, so I don't think it was willingly.

I assume welfare checks and credit cards?

Welfare checks and stimulus checks would not have gone to the shooter - his guardians would’ve received them

He had lived with his mother until recently, and she supposedly had/has a drug problem - she could be involved with the drug trade (easy to be in uvalde) and they could possibly live poor and have a lot of cash (like inner city welfare queens)

He may have stole from his grandma which is maybe why he killed her

Plus he worked, so maybe he just saved up

False Flag!!!! It’s the see eye aye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yea because there's just no way on earth the government would put people up to commit a mass shooting...

Culwell Center Attack

An undercover FBI agent was apprehend literally filming the event from the parking lot.

They are thinking a "retired" FBI agent knew about the Buffalo shooting in advance.

Yeah... nothing to see here, move along.

This is something I've been wondering to. There may be a simple explanation but for being so poor he was awfully well equipped and also was driving a fairly new truck, reportedly. I'd be interested in knowing how that came about
Do you guys even pay attention to the details of these stories? He had a job for a year, didn't pay rent, and stole his grandma's truck. Nothing all that weird about it to me.

Yeah. 18, no credit history, low paying job ..

I doubt he bought a D.D. rifle solely on a credit card.

If you have a job, no house note, no car note, virtually no bills (living with grandma) and don’t save for retirement, it’s not hard to scrounge together a couple grand.

Hell, if he makes $8/hr, that $320 before taxes, so let’s say $250/week. With no real bills, it’s only going to take a few months to save up enough to buy several guns.
