Stalliwhatsit, my point is that it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision on the part of Loughner, nor of the Columbine shooters. These guys PLANNED. Loughner did research. They didn't just wake up one morning and think "Gee--I guess I'll kill some people today. Now, I KNOW I got a gun here somewhere..."

They, HE, had the time to get a gun if he didn't just happen to have one in his back seat, and he had the time to make a bomb.
