    I mean, this but I unironically? Brandishing like this is an illegal threat of deadly force, which can be used to straightforwardly argue self-defense. It’s a braindead move on the legislator’s part, most likely a pattern of behavior (I’ve dealt with people who used the threat of their guns to win arguments, and it very much was a regular thing) and he’s frankly lucky nobody has called his bluff yet.
