The whole run felt a bit like that by moments. As if Bobbi were hallucinating certain bits here and there. He and Natasha got to, er, release tension, during Secret Empire, that one was pretty clear.
It's passed a lot of time since the original WCA. Clint has lived through a lot (a lot of hands have written him differently) since then, and I think he has grown to be a bit more flexible about that no kill rule. He still is very against killing, very, very much against it. But he has been kind of tolerant about it, I think, since Secret Avengers (I'm going to pretend that Bendis' Avengers happened differently, because he was definitely happy killing there, as far as I recall). Or maybe he has been more understanding and flexible since Reunion, I'm not sure.
Anyways. That famous scene in WCA. In my head, it had more to do with his trust issues and his anxiety, than with Bobbi letting that guy die. Even if he really was mad about the fact that the phantom guy was dead. Even if it wasn't the first time he shouted something like that, and wouldn't be the last (I vaguely remember him saying something like that when he took over the TBolts. And then he almost kills Karla, iirc).
But then he happens to befriend former killers and current killers fine everywhere.
Oh, Clint.
But, yeah, pretty silly of them for thinking that Clint was Ronin. I don't think Buck was that convinced, though.
