Lucy, and anyone else, might want to read Trump stands by wiretapping claim during Merkel visit
This is of course after the Trump aids tried to sooth the ruffled feathers of the UK.
As for pointing a gun at another person.
Every firearms instructor for gun safety classes sponsored by the NRA, every law enforcement instructor, every military firearms instructor, will rip someone a new ass for pointing a gun at anyone, regardless of who is pointing it and how much training they may or may not have had.
The fucking headlines are full of 'accidental gun deaths' due to someone pointing a gun at someone, thinking it was unloaded or assuming it was unloaded.
Hell that is the first thing I taught my kids about guns, even play guns, NEVER POINT THEM AT PEOPLE!
Regardless of what the intention was, it is stupid to do so.
And bosco, seeing as how you are defending this proves one thing.
You are willing to through common sense out the window just to condemn some news agency you do not agree with.

NRA Gun Safety
The fundamental NRA rules for safe gun handling are:
1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.
2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device if possible, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
When using or storing a gun, always follow these NRA rules:
Know your target and what is beyond.
Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Equally important, be aware of the area beyond your target. This means observing your prospective area of fire before you shoot. Never fire in a direction in which there are people or any other potential for mishap. Think first. Shoot second.
Know how to use the gun safely.
Before handling a gun, learn how it operates. Know its basic parts, how to safely open and close the action and remove any ammunition from the gun or magazine. Remember, a gun's mechanical safety device is never foolproof. Nothing can ever replace safe gun handling.
Be sure the gun is safe to operate.
Just like other tools, guns need regular maintenance to remain operable. Regular cleaning and proper storage are a part of the gun's general upkeep. If there is any question concerning a gun's ability to function, a knowledgeable gunsmith should look at it.
Use only the correct ammunition for your gun.
Only BBs, pellets, cartridges or shells designed for a particular gun can be fired safely in that gun. Most guns have the ammunition type stamped on the barrel. Ammunition can be identified by information printed on the box and sometimes stamped on the cartridge. Do not shoot the gun unless you know you have the proper ammunition.

Does it say anywhere in there that it is okay to point a gun at someone if you because you are well trained?
There is no way in hell any responsible gun owner can condone or even attempt to write this off.
Bosco, you have proven once and for all that you are a complete moron with an IQ lower than your shoe size and absolutely no common sense.
Even if CNN is wrong in context it is correct in the simple fact that even the NRA would support that the act was dumb ass stupid.
