Ok. Then you just transfer the chain back one level. Who did he buy it from? Think about the logistics of buying one of those. Imagine you wanted to buy a ghost gun. How would you actually go about doing that? Yes, organized crime rings and gangs may make these things, but they don't just sell them to any random kid who walks up wanting to buy one. They'll obtain them for their own trusted members. But if a random white kid shows up looking to buy a gun, the thought of most people would be that this guy is planning a school shooting. And no gang wants that type of heat.
That doesn't matter, though. He isn't being charged with manufacturing an illegal firearm so the prosecution does not have the burden of proving that he did so. Likewise, if he is being charged with gun trafficking, they still don't need to prove where he got the illegal gun from, just that he had it.
And he's being charged with terrorism, for fuck's sake. Do you really think the standard for evidence at this trial will be a fair one? The prosecution is likely to get away with hearsay while the defense will be expected to provide DNA evidence from the actual killer as well as his parents and grandparents to get the case dismissed.
It's really not this deep. A white privileged kid murdered someone in a pathetic martyr operation and he's going to prison for decades.
Your reply is nothing more than, "na uh, he did it!"
My replies are all factual while yours rely on the Boogeyman.
