    Yeah, no. Afaik everything the guy was doing with the gun is illegal in the US and would get your guns confiscated and right to ownership revoked if prosecuted. Waving a gun in someone’s face like that is illegal and I’m pretty sure a felony. You lose your guns if you have a felony on your record.
