1. So governor Abbott lied...

said a gun and maybe a rifle....

6. He said a handgun and maybe a rifle.

While the picture shown is of two rifles, the shooter appears to have had at least one handgun as well.

[Budi]

2. Well. Media & Abbott earlier said he had a hand gun & a rifle.

Liars.

The rapid death toll could only have been reached with the weapons pictured above.

There's no smoothing over nor minimizing this tragic truth.

[FarPoint]

13. Exactly!

no need to soften the language and minimize the truth.

3. FWIW: the one on the left is a Daniel Defense rifle.

It's an $1800-2000 rifle. The optic is an Eotech and probably $500-600. He spent a fair amount of money on one of them.

I'm not sure what the one on the right is.

7. A credit card could easily cover the expense.

When you have no intention of being around to pay it off...

[SYFROYH]

10. True.

12. I wonder if it's possible make it that you

Couldn't Buy a gun rifle or at the very least assault rifle with a credit card.

That would take a lot and I’m sure it’s not possible. Just wish something.

9. At $2,000 that works out to $133.33 per life . . .

Seems pretty cheap to me.

4. Yeah, he needed those to kill rattlesnakes in his yard or go deer hunting. What on earth does a

civilian need with guns like that? They look like they could take out a platoon with one pull of the trigger.

5. I think he bought them right after turning 18

He had a plan. This was in his head for a while now. Why kids though? Why his grandmom?

8. He does not look normal

Wanted to hurt as many as possible on his way out.


I wish they wouldn't have killed him. He got what he wanted.

11. You are right, Abbott does not look normal
