the finger 

Slang for showing someone the middle finger.
Originally a taunt created by the English. During wars between the French and the English, the French would cut of the English captives' middle fingers to disable their bowmen. English bowmen would show French soldiers their middle finger to mean, "you didn't get me."
Eventually evolved (in America only) to mean "Up yours," and later switched definitions to "F*** you."
That bastard gave me the finger!

Buffing The Finger 

Rather than just flipping the finger at someone, buffing the finger is am ostentatious and elaborate gesture of polishing up the middle finger finger as and intro to the offensive gesture itself. The add elan and flair, why not include a quip such as "Can you see your face in that?".
I saw her buffing the finger and quickly polished up my response.

emotion triggers the finger; intention brings the gun 

A statement of rejection of the "insantiy defense" for those who commit homicide with a gun.

James Holmes' legal defense team may present a not-guilty by reasons of insanity, but while emotion triggers the finger; intention brings the gun, and he brought more than one gun!
