One could argue, I guess, that pointing the gun "says" you're willing to kill but it may not mean that you actually are, and if the original entry means that, then my quibble goes away. But then I would have even greater reservations about someone pointing a gun to make the statement that they were willing to kill, without actually meaning that they were willing to kill. My dad taught me: Never point a gun at something that you don't mean to shoot; never shoot at something [living] that you don't mean to kill. (Therefore, never point a gun at a living thing you don't mean to kill.)
