10. The facts stated in the OP are correct

1- I used the word weapons to cover what was found in the truck

a magazine, a pistol, an empty grenade, and replica Kalashnikov and M16 rifles in the truck.

2- the attacker tried to get more before committing his attack:

He was found to have sent text messages to an unidentified contact during the attack, asking for "more weapons"

Anyway, you focused on one tree (the word weapon),
how about acknowledging the forest? (the beam of evidence that religion played a role)
