GGConversational exclamation points...
Phil Spector's lawyer used that expression to characterize Spector's propensity for gun waving, cursing and threatening in his murder retrial.
In an effort to defuse prosecution witnesses from the first trial, Spector's lawyer is taking the opportunity on cross of the State's witnesses to bring forth every gun waving incident they experienced.
See the story here:

Do you think this is wise, being that Spector is charged with killing another in anger by shooting them with a gun?
Seems to me like the first team, which was replaced for this second go round, did a pretty good job for Spector. They hung the jury.

R_SmithI know that I always wave a gun around at people when I am trying to make a point in a conversation that I am having. Doesn't everybody? lol
