From this interview (dailycaller.com) with his mom.
She revealed the last time she spoke with Ramos was on Monday, which was Ramos’ birthday, and the day before the shooting took place.
So does his mom not know his birthday, or is there a little more to the story. You can buy ammo without an id. I'm thinking he ordered the gun on the 17th (there is a reciept he posted online), and then actually picked it up on the Monday he turned 18. Also keep in mind there is no way he had a credit card since he just turned 18 less than a week ago (or a day ago depending on who you believe). So he rolled into a gun shop to pick up two AR with a $4k stack of bills.
Keep in mind, no FFL wants to be the guy who sold a gun to a murderer. Most of them are small business owners with families. There is little money made off of selling guns and processing FFL transfers. FFLs can reject the transfer especially if some whacked out kid who just turned 18 showed up with a wad of cash. That close to the border, they can just say they felt it was a straw purchase and be done with it.
Good point about buying ammo without an ID. I've never been carded for ammo even for online sales where an adult signing for it is nominally required (but never actually done).
You don't need to be 18 to have a credit card. Or at least I didn't. Maybe I lied on application or something.
Here's (experian.com) a source for you.
It's possible things have changed if you're decently older than me. I remember when I was in elementary school I could have a bank account in my name and access it as necessary. By the time I was in middle school the laws or rules had changed and my parents needed to be on the account. This was a huge problem for me at the time because I had a few hundred dollars in the bank from mowing lawns and I could no longer access it. Also, since my parents weren't on the account (since it wasn't previously required), they couldn't access the money either. It actually took like two trips over the course of a week to resolve. (((Bankers))) gonna bank I guess.
could have been a debit card.
Plus when you get that first Cc, the limit is way less than $3000, closer to 300!
Those are the same questions that I have been waiting for anyone in the media (including Tucker Carlson) to ask.
Starting with, where did he get the money for all of that hardware?
