You can disagree all you want - Wendy’s in Dallas starts at $19K (as a cross check), and if you live at home/with a relative and don’t have to pay rent, and you don’t have extravagant purchasing habits, you can get significant money (on the scale of purchasing these firearms) pretty quickly. There are guys on my local Toyota 4Runner truck group that work at Wendys, live at home, and make enough money to trick out their trucks. That’s more expensive than guns, ammo and sights.
How do you know he wasn’t paying rent?
Or, groceries, for that matter? Or, for his wheels that he crashed?
It’s reported that mom is a drug addict. Maybe he gave her $ for wifi bill and she spent it.
We have no idea what he made (number of hours worked/week) or what he paid for.
No telling how much he spent on his gaming toys, drugs (if he took them), etc.
And, yes, you’re right....I can disagree with you. ;-)
