Makes you wonder why it's not called a "battery rifle." |
Usually there has to be a reasonable belief that the person was going to carry out the threat - 90% of the population has made some idle threat in the heat of the moment, most of them would never do anything about it. We'd all be in jail if simply saying "I'm gonna kill you!" was that bad.
