Not only a looming display of bad sportsmanship, but also a lack of research into the diversity of gun laws in the various states around the country.
The duo drove 25 hours to reach the convention -- from Iowa. (<-- link to the Boston Herald)
The two men (ages 18 and 27 -- hooray for multiples of 9?) may not have known that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the US; the article says ". . . Judge Lisa Grant ordered a stunned-looking Norton and Stumbo held. . . ." (emphasis added)

That doesn't sound like an attempted shooting to me; it sounds like mere, ubiquitous human stupidity -- at least with regard to research into out-of-state gun laws.
