The gun-bearing equivalent to yelling fire in a movie theatre is brandishing, and it is a felony just about everywhere. It’s a pretty basic concept.

Again, the yelling fire in a crowd ruling was overturned a long time ago and is not a crime per the USSC. See more here. I didn't say anything about guns.

I think it is a close call in this instance because a case can be made he was merely spoofing the media stories about the movie could inspire violence.

In other words, no intent. If it works for Clinton, why not?
