Nocte's right. Arizona is a perfect example of how his theory works in the real world. We have probably the most lax gun possession laws in the country. You can carry a concealed weapon here without a permit. You can legally bring a concealed weapon into a bar or restaurant that sell alcohol.
So, Jared Loughner knew there was a good chance someone at that rally could be strapped and he could end up getting shot by his intended targets. So instead, he went "Naaaaaaaaaaaahhh!" and totally
a) chose not to do it in an area with gun laws like that; or
b) didn't want to shoot anyone anymore
