How Did Burger-Flipping Uvalde Mass Murderer Afford a High-End Daniel Defense V7 With an Eotech XPS Optic?

When conspiracy theorists start screaming “false flag, false flag,” I often disregard them. It’s not that I don’t believe there are false flag attacks in the U.S. and abroad. I KNOW they happen. But after every mass murder, two things happen. First, the left cries for gun control (and decries white supremacy if the shooter is white). Second, conspiracy theorists cry “false flag, false flag!”

With the Uvalde mass murders, I’m starting to take a closer look for a few different reasons, not the least of which is wondering how a kid flipping burgers who was made fun of in school for being poor could afford a weapon of the caliber used in the attack.

As Daniel Horowitz noted:

The guy in Uvalde used a Daniel Defense V7, with an Eotech XPS optic. He had a $2,000 rifle with a $600 optic on it. The guy was a part-time burger flipper at Wendy’s in Uvalde, Texas. I can barely afford a rifle like that. None of this makes sense.

    Maybe he was turning tricks on the side. Ya can’t rule out that even sexual deviants might appreciate quality in firearms and optics.

    MKUltra graduation present? I’d imagine many of the details or answers to this will be taken to the grave by people who’ve had mysterious car crashes, unexplained heart attacks or the new “died suddenly” phenomenon. Other interesting things to come out recently: the shooter was arrested along with an accomplice 4 yrs ago for planning to shoot up a school (the plan was for senior year, 2022), shooter was seeing a therapist who also uses hypnosis therapy, local schools use an AI program to monitor and red flag all students’ social media to try to prevent shootings/school violence and yet this guy is posting his plans. I’m not saying this was planned by some nefarious actors down to the last detail, but it would all line up to the point where if someone was monitoring this potential shooter it wouldn’t take much to nudge him over the line and make his demented fantasies a reality. Preaching to the choir here but the lesson is no one is coming to save us, protect your family and train your kids in self defense and medical.

    Maybe he had an OnlyFans or Fansly page. Or maybe he was giving that good-good to the incident manager who bought it for him and held off everyone from going in. Just spit balling here…

    A kid who has no living expenses doesn’t need much more than time to accumulate the money that was spent on weaponry. Any of us could accumulate a full suite of thermal and night vision optics rather quickly if we had someone else paying for all of our food, electricity, health care, etc, etc, etc…

      Its my experience as a trainer in this business that most of you commenting do not do so.

      • James Carpenter aka "Felix" May 28, 2022 at 10:13

        10k+ for suite (with rifle laser sight) to come from cash disbursement when house is sold.
        And that will be the least of worries.
        But (hoping/believing) a component of the best of restart/relocate.
        Just hope all will be be available in 2 to 3 months from now from ReadyMadeResources. Way things are going, can’t help but think time is running out to get feces cohesive.

      • Paul May 28, 2022 at 10:46

        What does training have to do with the comments? I could say based my experience with those that have seen the elephant that you have no sense of survival humor.

        • NC Scout May 28, 2022 at 11:46

          I have a direct view of what people are buying and contacts across the industry. That’s what it has to do with it.

          • Ghostmann May 28, 2022 at 14:58

            Scout, it is that most of the people are still just hoarding rifles and not kitting them out properly? Or just buying a bunch of cheap stuff instead of having two or maybe three really good ones and then training with them?

          • NC Scout May 28, 2022 at 15:17

            Both.

  5. ReluctantMillennial May 28, 2022 at 08:54

    I’m not sure why everyone is so perplexed by how the killer afforded his gun: it’s called a credit card. I had a card out of high school with a $500 limit when I worked part time at a pool store 15 years ago. I would imagine nowadays that $3000 isn’t that far fetched (probably with an interest rate in the 30-40 percent range) for a kid making minimum wage.

    • NC Scout May 28, 2022 at 09:01

      You’re missing the point and assuming this creature thought like you.

      Just because the kid can, doesn’t mean he would.

  6. Johnny Paratrooper May 28, 2022 at 08:56

    Tax Return and a paycheck or two would cover every penny of the rifle, optic, and some mags/ammo.

    He lived with his grandparents and had essentially zero expenses.

    • NC Scout May 28, 2022 at 09:00

      But why would you when if you’re fucked in the head, as he apparently was, when you could buy something accomplishing the same goal far cheaper and spend the rest of your cash on women’s clothes.

      • SOG May 28, 2022 at 10:08

        notice how he is addressed as HE only because he is a shooter, why dont they address the pronouns now? only when convenient me thinks,

      • bert May 28, 2022 at 12:02

        Head case walks into the local gun store and gets taken for a ride by an unscrupulous person out to maximize store profits off what he correctly assessed as a head case with little knowledge and a credit limit……….
        Is that what happened?
        I can say for certain I have zero knowledge of any of the events that day or leading up to, just throwing shit and looking what sticks.
        That shit sure is a possibility, how much so….who knows.
        Excellent work you do here.

        • NC Scout May 28, 2022 at 12:03

          None of you are answering WHY.

          Occam’s razor suggests buying the cheapest weapon possible.

          • Logick2 May 28, 2022 at 14:01

            SSRI psych drugs fortified with MK-Ultra-level psychological “counseling” that maximized his existing mental disturbances and violent tendencies.

          • Johnny Paratrooper May 28, 2022 at 17:11

            What Kind of women’s clothing did he wear?
            Did he prefer fashionable higher end stuff?
            That would fit with the psyche

          • NC Scout May 28, 2022 at 17:51

            I don’t fucking know. Or care.

  7. HP May 28, 2022 at 09:27

    Sounded like investigators also recovered several thousand rounds of ammo and several dozen mags. His 18th birthday was a few days prior to the shooting, so it shouldn’t be hard to locate the paper trail for the purchases. Dude must be a natural to have become so proficient on that rifle in a few days time.

    • Johnny paratrooper May 28, 2022 at 17:15

      It is rather curious he held off dozens of trained officers with one week of training…
      Normally he should have flagged himself or chicken winged and been shot.
      Yet, somehow, he knew suppression is 9/10ths of the law in a gunfight

  8. Chris May 28, 2022 at 10:43

    Crime and legit.

    We will most likely never know or be told.
    And….

    We got bigger problems

    When is a conspiracy theory not a conspiracy theory…when it’s the damn truth.

    It smelled like a psyops to me from the very start . And as I expected the leftist media push started just as expected . Disarmament is the next big push and it won’t stop until they have us disarmed or we stop them . Does anyone really think that leo’s would stand around tazing and knocking down crying mothers for an hour while a tranny is killing children ? Try that in my ao and a hundred concerned moms and dads with big guns would be there in 5 minutes . My grandkids school is 5 minutes away at the speed limit . They all have cell phones . And every one of my neighbors has big guns and kids . Psyops !

    • NC Scout May 28, 2022 at 12:04

      This.

    • Ghostmann May 28, 2022 at 14:37

      buckeye bob, the police had no problem arresting mothers and slamming grandmothers to the ground over not wearing masks while kneeling and worshipping BLM the last two years. There isn’t anything a cop won’t do to ensure they still have their pension at the end of their shift. You saw that with what happened in Uvalde. They did what they thought they needed to do to protect their paychecks.

  11. boss21 May 28, 2022 at 12:47

    Every time they are either ‘known to the police’ , ‘under ‘care’ , were caught and released etc. Every fucking time. In a few days or weeks we will hear something like this big news locally – https://buffalonews.com/news/local/authorities-investigating-if-retired-federal-agent-knew-of-buffalo-mass-shooting-plans-in-advance/article_bd408f18-dd39-11ec-be53-df8fdd095d6f.html BTW No school massacre (other than standard ‘hood melees that don’t count) happened between Obama and Biden.Getting us to kill each other is proving hard for them but they won’t stop trying.

  12. MTHead May 28, 2022 at 13:44

    Maybe a grant from BLM, Soros non-profit? I mean if ACORN was willing to help set up an underage teen prostitution ring. Why not help a tranny get an AR?
    It smells. But the kid played video games that talked about which guns are best. And he probably conned grandma out of the money. Stimulus and such. Just like Vegas. We ain’t gettin the whole story. Just the propaganda.

  13. Ghostmann May 28, 2022 at 14:34

    I wouldn’t be shocked if the murderer had a sugar daddy. He seems like he may have been sexually groomed. I also wouldn’t be shocked if he did have a handler, the handler was also doing deviant shit with the murderer.

    Some of the parents statements seem to be leakage about that.

    Now, his choice of the DD M4 was probably someone telling him go buy these rifles with the money he was getting. That someone probably being his handler.

    The likeyhood of him getting a credit card to afford that at 18 with no credit history is not probable. If he was just buying on his own with no input or research, he’d probably just buy a doublestar AR or something sub $600.

  14. David May 28, 2022 at 15:24

    Suppose, for political reasons, you wanted occasional mass school shootings so that you could smear your political opponents. You might pass a law legally prohibiting the adults in a school from protecting the children. You could call it the Gun Free School Zones Act of 1990, and you could claim that the children would then be safe. It would then just be a matter of waiting for the occasional nutcase. Be sure that the law is never brought up in any news reporting.

  15. Camp Wellness May 28, 2022 at 17:01

    Didn’t Australia have the same thing happen before losing their guns?
    The comrades are in panic as they haven’t delivered the former USA to their CCP comrades yet.
    The next few months will be “interesting times” indeed as the CPUSA/Grand Old Politburo sell us out even more.
    Look for a hospital nursery to get shot up by some MK U freak.
    We get to be the Indians now.

    Children-anything that would harm or impose risk to-the children- if anyone did not expect thing, let alone think it is not going to happen again to this age group to get a political or legal response has their head in the dirt. It is how the game is played. It is the narrative for whatever agenda is on the docket. None of these things seem cut and dry, because they are not. If the first thought that pops into your head that something isn’t right-God gave you intuition for a reason. -it ain’t over yet, it’s not even hot outside yet.

    The first party tool I ever bought was cheap, it took a lot of hands on, and time to learn the difference between a cheap rifle and an expensive one. DDs are usually the last ones on the rack for a reason, and there are metric tons of choices that are far less expensive, that are very serviceable. If you are on a budget, you don’t buy a high end rifle, you prob buy a serviceable inexpensive one, and a lot more brass. I was 18 once, the tool is cool, but no fun without fuel. It does not make sense, but it will get the planned response.

    Remember the UN Small Arms treaty that Hussein Hopenchange signed?
