Kollie and Betts were friends who had repeatedly done "hard drugs" together, P. Andrew Gragan, an FBI special agent, wrote in an affidavit included in the complaint.
Kollie told FBI agents that he bought the body armor, equipment for the gun and a 100-round double-drum magazine that Betts later used during the massacre, Gragan wrote. He bought those items and stored them in his house "to assist Betts in hiding them from Betts' parents," Gragan wrote.
Kollie also told the FBI that about 10 weeks before the shooting, he was in his apartment, watching and helping Betts assemble the weapon later used in the shooting. Weeks later, Betts retrieved the gun, magazine and body armor, Gragan wrote.
Betts's family members have said they were "shocked and devastated" by the shooting and pledged to cooperate with law enforcement.
The complaint also quotes Kollie as acknowledging both drug use and lying about it on a federal form to be able to purchase a gun.
Federal agents interviewed Kollie on the day of the shooting, when he told them that he bought the body armor and a firearm accessory for Betts earlier in the year, Gragan wrote. The agents smelled marijuana, saw devices for smoking marijuana and learned that Kollie possessed two guns, Gragan wrote.
Four days later, the FBI interviewed him again, asking about Betts and their drug use together, which occurred "four to five times a week during 2014 to 2015," Gragan wrote. Kollie also told agents that he has smoked marijuana every day for a decade, Gragan said.
That same day, Gragan added, FBI agents conducting a search warrant asked Kollie if he had anything on him; he had a bag of marijuana and a revolver. Kollie also told agents that he grew and used psychedelic mushrooms, Gragan wrote.
Surprising since he uses weed and shrooms. Another winner.Apparently he forgot these 4 important things:
1.) I don't remember
2.) I can't recall
3.) I am not sure
4.) I don't know

Not everyone can afford a $10,000 retainer.
I bet it makes you cringe a little when he does that. It is hard to watch someone close do things you might think are harmful to them. You are nearly powerless to help.My brother has been a heavy pot smoker most all his life including addictions to various other drugs. He has bought firearms many times by lying on the 4473.
How many on here have to keep parts and guns away from their spouses because their spouses or partners didn't want them to buy more?How many of us have bought and concealed gear and parts on someone's behalf

Well I hope they finally give these people what their due.
How many times do we see straw buyers or the like getting away with jack squat for jail time, or just probation, while they cry for more laws.
