“Question: How does an unemployed medical student afford $20,000 in weapons gear?”

Those are good question. Maybe just follow the money.

See my post #34.

The blogger pulled the $20K figure out of thin air, and he wasn’t an “unemployed medical student”: He was a Ph.D. student who’d been awarded a grant during his first year, and thus at least had leftover money from student loans, even if he didn’t (as is likely in the sciences) have a full-ride on tuition plus a stipend from the university.

Easy when the gear only costs $1500 - $2000 tops, maybe less. The author of that $20,000 in gear estimate is completely off base. I'm talking journalistic negligence off.

Just like millions of other students- credit cards or maybe even identity theft.
