This guy is either one of two things:
1. A hopelessly stupid individual who couldn't figure out that he could buy a gun legally and then do what he says he intended to do.
-- OR --
2. A person with an agenda who knew that he would get cuaght if he attempted to break into a gun shop. A person bright enough to understand how he could make supporters of the 2nd Amendment and supporters of Terri Schiavo's right to life look like a bunch of whacko-s.
It would have been better if he had bought one off a gangster or drug dealer.
I'll go with Option 2.
Whack-job.
