I will assume, either rightly or wrongly, that you do not understand the law and are not just trolling. The difference between simple talk and conspiring to commit a crime is when someone takes an overt act towards doing whatever you talked about. If you planning to kill someone with a rifle and then go get a rifle soon afterwards, then you're acting in a conspiracy. If the news stories are accurate and there weren't any major errors in how it was handled, then this will be a very easy case to prove.
