If I was the parent, and I saw it, it may just be a red flag. Not a finalized judgement on my son, but I would definitely keep an eye on him for anger issues, search his room for guns, etc.
Guns are made to kill or wound something/someone or to put holes is something. How could anyone think that guns are evil?

Guns have also done some wonderful things. They've saved lives and freed oppressed people. Sometimes they put holes in people that are hurting others. A gun is a tool. Countless people have committed suicide by jumping off of the Brooklyn Bridge, yet this tool of suicide is not an evil thing.
Is he from a military family? Do they go hunting? Or, perhaps, he watches TV/sees movies/surfs the internet/talks to friends/reads books? Guns are a part of this world, and children are not in bubbles.
If the kid drew a boxing glove, should we worry that he's a bully, or that he's into professional sports? If he drew a whip, does it mean he's a sadomasochist, or a fan of Indiana Jones? If he drew himself flying an airplane, does it mean he's going to fly one into a building?
