Uvalde shooter legally bought his guns............

[2aguy]

Neat.

Not only are you wrong, we also need better laws and systems to keep guns out of the hands of nutters.

The people who failed at uvalde wereyou and the cops…….you support democrats who attacked the cops to the point they are terrified to do their jobs……that’s on you

That's an idiotic fantasy, and you embarrass yourself with your silly desperation.

And I don't play the gun humper game, where we talk about each incident in a vacuum, pretending to be too stupid to look at the big picture and the future.

You aren’t looking at the big picture…..you will give up a Right for a temporary feeling of superiority……

Governments have murdered more people than criminals have or will…..

By taking guns, you make more victims than you think you will save…..victims of both criminals and their own governments……and you will feel smug as the bodies pile up.

Wrong. That's the strawman you invented to make it easier for yourself to make vapid, emotional points.

I wouldn't take away your guns.

Dunno what to think about this. Apparently the shooter at the Uvalde school bought his guns legally, and waited until just a day or two after his 18th birthday so he could legally buy the weapons and the ammo. Do we need to change the gun laws? I don't really think so, as the laws that are currently on the books are sufficient IF they are enforced.

Do we need to take a closer look at who buys the guns? Maybe, but that would also put a serious burden on people who aren't bat shit crazy who want to buy guns by making them wait and pass checks.

Sorry, but as long as we have guns legally available for purchase, there will continue to be people who slip through the cracks and commit these kinds of atrocious acts.

Uvalde gunman legally bought AR rifles days before shooting, law enforcement says

He brought only one of the rifles with him into the elementary school, according to the briefing. The other was left in a truck he crashed nearby.

The gunman in the deadliest school shooting in Texas history bought two AR-style rifles legally just after his 18th birthday — days before his assault on Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

UPDATED: MAY 25, 2022
He legally purchased two AR platform rifles from a federally licensed gun store on two days: May 17 — just a day after his birthday — and May 20, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said, according to a briefing that state Sen. John Whitmire, chair of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee, received from state authorities late Tuesday. The gunman bought 375 rounds of 5.56-caliber ammunition on May 18.

In Texas, you must be at least 18 years old to buy a rifle, and the state does not require a license to openly carry one in public.

The rifles the shooter had cost around $2000 a piece. How did an 18 year old kid working at Wendy's come up with that kind of money ?

Probably used Grandma's credit cards.

When I was 18 I had more than that in the bank and I worked at a restaurant when the wage was far lower than it is today

The gunmaker whose rifle was used in Uvalde shooting reportedly runs direct-to-consumer ads aimed at younger buyers

The Georgia gunmaker Daniel Defense offers buy now, pay later, so the cost of buying its guns can be spread over several payment periods.

So what?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

So what?

It means he didn't have to have all the money to cover the cost of the guns to acquire them.

Did you not notice that part?

 

[ABikerSailor]

For all you people screaming "where did he get the money to buy the guns", simply Google "can you buy a gun with a credit card", and it will tell you who will and won't, as well as will tell you the conditions that must be met in order to buy guns on credit.

Sorry, but you don't need a butt ton of cash to buy guns anymore, be they rifles, handguns or assault rifles.

Can you buy a gun with a credit card?

Again so what?

Advertising and payment plans are not illegal

Right...not sure where you are getting any of that... not sure who thought otherwise...

At least 5 times in this thread I have seen posters wonder how he had money to buy these guns.

This (kind off stupid and lazy) question is part of the construct of the boiling 'spiracy horseshit surrounding these events.

So I was bringing some facts to the table.

I don;t wonder how he got the money.

I don;t find it impossible for an 18 year old to have a few grand.

Yes, I noticed. You're right, it's not impossible.

But you were both discussing it, so I brought another fact to the table.

 

[Ms. Turquoise]

The question to ask is where he got 3000 dollars for the rifles?

The question to ask is how much does each indivisual politician receive from the NRA in order to do their bidding? I bet it's way more than their yearly salary from the government.

Impossible to tell.

That's what PACs are all about.

Wrong. That's the strawman you invented to make it easier for yourself to make vapid, emotional points.

"You," don't have to....you give power to the democrats and their leadership who will take away our guns...

 

[2aguy]

When I was 18 I had more than that in the bank and I worked at a restaurant when the wage was far lower than it is today

And most of these killers plan 6 months to 2 years before they attack.......saving that much isn't hard, and if he had access to a credit card......he likely didn't plan on paying that card off....
