They took their guns first because they are cowboys (cowboys carry guns) and secondly to present a hard target

Yep, but I'm just a brainwashed rube.

Is stating you will kill someone an act?

To the bold, yes. In legal speak, it's called... wait for it...

terroristic threatening.

Quote:United States[edit]

Main article: threatening terrorism against the United States
18 U.S.C. § 2332b©(1)(g) makes it a class C felony, punishable by 10 years imprisonment, for someone to willfully threaten to commit a crime that will result in death or great bodily harm; the threat is made with the specific intent that it be taken as a threat; the threat is so unequivocal, unconditional, and specific as to convey a gravity of purpose and immediate prospect of execution; the threat actually causes fear in the victim; and the fear is reasonable.[4]

But, as an MP, you'd know that.
