Answer

No.  A "dynamic", in the sense used here, means how people interact with each other in a certain situation.  Here, it means the interaction between a person threatening gun violence and the person who is threatened.  Another example:  When Mary became Jim's boss, the dynamic between them changed and they were no longer able to be good friends.
