How does a 13 year old kid afford a total of 23 guns including assault weapons?

Tactical-style rifles were mounted on walls and handguns were found unsecured throughout the home. In the boy’s room — in a heavy backpack beneath a turtle habitat — were AR-style magazines with writing on them referencing mass shootings, including the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado

one post said, “when i turn 21 iam going to kill people,” and another said, “its over! my time is almost hear!”

Clearly a good guy with a gun.

Yeah I think that's the part this really needs to cover. Clearly someone much older with much greater resources was feeding this kid both weapons and the propaganda.

That was my immediate thought - that's a LOT of cash.
