My best guess is that the guy had no intention of assassinating anyone. He broke in or talked his way in, more or less took Paul hostage, and at some point between Paul calling the cops and the cops opening the door the guy figured out Paul had called the cops and they started fighting.
Because, like... If he actually intended to assassinate someone it's really easy to get a gun in America, or at least a knife. But apparently the only weapon involved was a hammer, and it's not even clear if he brought that or found it on site.
i mostly agree, but i do think he probably wanted to kill nancy. as for the gun thing, it's not as easy to get guns in SF - I don't think there is a single gun shop remaining in the city, and California has long waiting periods and background checks and stuff. it was probably a mostly spur of the moment plan that he hadn't spent more than a day or two thinking about, otherwise he probably would have waited until he knew that she would be there.
another thing i just remembered: chuds have been talking about how hypocritical the pelosis are for having guns/ccw permits for years, he may have just thought he'd be able to get a gun on site
Lol.

But then who knows, the whole thing is wild.

That tracks.

having purchased a gun in California, it's ten days.
and checking Google Maps, there seems to be a normal number of gun shops in SF.
…zero?
Well, normal for America.
Yeah there are shops in the greater Bay Area, but none in San Francisco (or Oakland). SF is only the tip of the peninsula in that screenshot
I feel like that specific point is moot because there are plenty of gun shops in driving distance
