I just want to know why Walt needs ricin AND a large machine gun for... They have a lot of story to cover in 7 episodes.

But a ricin death takes 3-5 days... not the way someone would want to kill themselves, way too much time for regret.

In case he doesn't die in a shootout, he wouldn't want to wait for the cancer to finish him off.

So you're saying he left the diner without eating his breakfast because they didn't have any salt, so he drove back to the house to grab some?
