This is a perfectly reasonable, rational, sound, and appropriate reaction to careless muzzle safety

If I'm the judge of this case, if he assulted that guy, I'm ruling it as justified. I'm also ruling the other guy can't own guns anymore.

Oh, wait. That would require common sense gun restrictions to be legal. Sorry guys, I can't take guns away from idiots who just casually point guns at people on the street. Blame the republicans.

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.

It's also classified as 'deadly conduct' which can range from misdemeanor to felony charges.
