My adult Sunday School class went a little off tracks talking about the recent school shootings. One of the gentlemen in the class stated he thought they were orchestrated and that something was just not right about them. I mentioned about how the wage worker who just turned 18 a couple of weeks before had money for two AR platforms, a pistol and body armor. I stated that you know in most of the major recent school shootings the FBI knew about the shooter in advance. What good does see something say something do?

Will done, pede!
I've had two coworkers in the past week tell me in hushed tones that they think the Democrats engineer the shootings.
How did the class react to your observations?
Didn't he also buy a new truck, or was that not proven?
I think the truck belonged to his grandmother.
I can afford and AR platform and have been thinking about buying for years. It is a lot of money to (pun) shell out.
$10k ~ish of gear 18 + 1 day. What is that smell... Democrats. It smells like ... oppression, setup.
Waiting period means he'd have applied before his 18th, but the one gun store in the area apparently didn't even carry those weapons and the kids had no driver license. Who drove him out of town to order and pay for the weapon, and then go later to collect it?
And a store that just so happens to be under investigation in relation to cartel activities?

I can afford it too but I'm a forty-something making over $100k, not kid who just turned 18 and works at Wendy's.
What job? He didn't have one.
Very good way to handle this. Bring in relevant facts regarding something specific, and let them think about it. Most are not ready for the big picture. Little by little.
That's my approach as well.
