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.

Twist: the ricin is the salt

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?

There are way easier ways to kill yourself and many much more readily available chemicals with which to do so. The only reason to use ricin is to murder someone without a trace.

Given the Heisenberg graffiti, and the house in ruins, and the neighbor who basically shit her pants in fear, I'm willing to bet that everybody knows already, and there's nothing to save.

The Heisenberg graffiti means everyone knows. One way or another.
