Is the raccoon giving the gun or is the human giving the gun to the raccoon?

Since you handle things with a "danger site" pointed to yourself and not to the opponent, it's the human giving the gun to the raccoon.

Think about how you would give someone a knife or a scissor.

Why would you give somebody a scissor? Are you making them fight for the other half?

Scissor and scissors are interchangeable and mean the same thing. I agree that dropping the plural hurts my brain a little though

Wait, it's "scissors" for just one? Those crazy English people, again.

Yes, if I said "hand me the scissors" it would just be one tool with two blades. I could also say "hand me a pair of scissors" to mean the same thing. Kind of like how "pair of pants" or "pair of glasses" mean just one of those items. For reference, I am from the US. Not sure if you meant English as the country or as the language. Either way, those usages are nonsense and I will happily keep using them.

The guy is first dumb enough to point the gun at himself, and second is dumb enough to give it to a raccoon. But it’s still hilarious.

Raccoon isn't shown with a good enough grip on it to be holding the weight of a real gun, and we want to arming the raccoon population. In this case, given the plastic molding seams, it's a toy gun; this raccoon is in training.

Who's giving to whom?

It’s obviously raccoon to human. Raccoons are kings (even the females) so are impervious to suggestions or commands

See I'm just creeped out by how that "person" has no wrist. Is it a baby?
