ExtraEmily responds to backlash for aiming firearm at Mizkif on Twitch stream

Twitch streamer ExtraEmily has responded to backlash after she played with Mizkif’s glock and aimed it at him.

If you’ve never handled a firearm before, there are plenty of safety precautions to consider, regardless of whether you think the gun isn’t loaded.

During a January 20 broadcast, Mizkif joked about he had a glock in a case next to a bunch of Pokemon plushies.

“Does that not scream Texas to you?” he laughed.

Shortly after, ExtraEmily walked over to grab the case and opened it up, before taking the firearm out and checking it out.

Emily then proceeded to pretend to fire the gun, not knowing if it was loaded or not, prompting a concerned reaction from Miz as she pointed the gun in his direction.

“Do you really trust me to make sure the gun is properly put away?” he asked. “There could be an extra bullet in there!”

“I’m not putting my hand on the trigger!” she said. “I’m not that stupid… I think.”
