I can’t tell if there’s a /s missing there or not, but if there is, this person allegedly pointed the gun into a crowd and advanced showing intent. I would also agree that even in jest, if you brandish, you are signalling intent and immediately forfeit your right to life.
Unfortunately, yea there are people that are that way. A recently public scandal, Christian music singer, Michael Tait has been accused of sexually assaulting under age boys for years. His statements were more verbose but very similar to what you said.
