Apparently bullied. Lived in subsidized housing with his immigrant parents possibly on welfare.
"Among the many questions facing the authorities on Saturday as Munich slowly returned to normal was how Mr. Sonboly had gotten a handgun and so much ammunition, despite Germany’s strict gun laws.
The serial number of the Glock had been scratched off, complicating the authorities’ ability to trace the firearm, said Robert Heimberger, the chief of the Bavarian State Criminal Police, at a late morning news conference. The teenager did not have a license to own a gun."
300 rounds in Germany is "so much ammunition".
How does a teenager, on welfare, subsidized housing etc.. get enough money to purchase an illegal gun on the black market? I can't imagine that it would be cheap. As in most investigations, follow the money.
