    What exactly was the point of calling the police on himself and taking an unloaded gun? Was it this guy's first time doing crime?

      News headlines will read "Attempted assassination attempt on Justice Kavanaugh thwarted by brave law enforcement" and no one will bother reading more about it.

      He was clearly going through an episode of something. The gun was also in a safe in his car and he confessed immediately, after having warned them in a call beforehand

      The thrill of the chase! Taunting the police because he knows that he is too smart to ever be caught by them! Sportsmanship!

      He was leveling the playing field, knowing that even with an unloaded gun and having given away his identity and location, the police would soon find out who was the hunter and who was being hunted. Something like that, I assume.

      The only people I've known to do shit like this were very suicidal and wanted someone else to do it.
