Agreed.

He said at the beginning of the video that he’d been outside with her for 30 minutes showing her how to shoot it. Perhaps he knew it wasn’t loaded because he had just unloaded it, double-checked it, and confiscated all of the ammo before telling her not to mess with it and leaving her alone with the gun. (I wouldn’t leave a loaded gun or an empty gun with ammo at hand in the presence of someone who just learned how to shoot.)

If he 100% that it wasn’t loaded, then it may have been a valuable lesson. Without more information, I’d have to say it wasn’t funny at all and in fact was dangerous.

I don't care if it is an inert replica or dummy. Scaring someone is a TERRIBLE way to teach firearms. That woman might never want to go shooting again. Incredibly stupid. If you have to use pranks to teach gun safety you should not be anywhere near firearms.
