Seems unlikely that a young man supposedly living in poverty has 5-6k laying around.

It might seem unlikely but as long as he doesnt have any other expenses and actually shows up to work, its not as hard as it seems. Especially if you are saving for a purpose and dont spend on wasteful things.

Seems very difficult. What do you think a fast food employee still in high school makes in a month after taxes?

Probably less than 1000k?

First of all, why are we at 6k?

I purchased my first handgun 2 months after I got my undergrad. If memory serves, they sold it to me on a 12 month payment plan.

Maybe, just maybe, that's why we have a spectacularly tragic situation to talk about right now.

The situation is tragic for sure. But the idea that he did multiple unlikely things is obviously far less likely.

I could purchase similar weapons to what he had for far less money. It’s really odd he amassed enough money to buy 2 of the nicest guns on the market.

Can you at least see why people would find that odd? He purchased 2, 2k dollar rifles plus body armor and over 100 rounds?

You were claiming the left says it is impossible to “make it” on slave wages.

He wasn’t “making it”. He had accomplished nothing in line with “making it”. No apartment or home of his own. No car.

He had 5-6k at 18. That’s a great position to be in. He could’ve bought a car cash. In another year or two he could’ve made a down payment on a house at that rate

Highly doubt this kid was approved for financing on 5-6k worth of gear.

The 5-6k number is from the fact that his guns alone were 4K plus he had body armor and a large amount of ammo, which probably means extra magazines too.

That’s the type of stability one wouldn’t expect in the mentally unstable.

Dude have you seen the American sales and credit system?

Go to Daniel’s website. They literally market their credit system on there. You walk into the mom and pop shop, they say fill out this form, give me a couple of pay stubs, run it thru the software to whoever is actually performing the service for Daniel, and boom you have 5k in credit. Probably show up with 1000-2000 to put down and it is a sure thing.

I have a feeling everyone opposing me on this would also be proclaiming its so difficult for people to own a car.

But anyway, I’m highly doubtful that 18 year old high school drop outs are just given 5k in credit. Is it possible? Sure. But I’m not convinced

It isn’t difficult to own a car if it is the only expense in your life. I could buy a Porsche working at Wendy’s if it was the only bill I had.

Life in this country in general isn’t difficult. But this kid was also mentally ill and living in poverty.

I’m not convinced a kid with all that going on was also putting in overtime. I’m just not seeing it

Ok. So then your belief is what in regards to how he acquired these items?

Ok.

But if my goal is to commit an act that I know ends in my death when said act is accomplished, I could come up with 50k in a short amount of time without even putting too much thought into it.

Eh, if his goals were to do what he did I dont think it would be that hard for him to save. In all reality even if hes making min wage he could save that in a year with no other expenses.
