I feel like you're reading into this way more than is necessary. These are the types of people that drive jacked up trucks with truck nuts and led lights all over and never hauled anything in their lives. You know, morons.
Yeah that's kinda his point. Their posturing around guns and whatever other machismo is based on no actual experience at all, it's just LARPing
Basically yeah, these are the kind of people who act big and tough and scary, as if theyre all ex special forces members with serious tactical kinetic force multiplying knowledge sets...
...but in actuality theyre more like insufferable gun enthusiast fan boys who have spent waaaay too much time reading and watching firearms related content, instead of actually using firearms, to the point that they come up with an overcomplicated and nonsensical ideology that gives their otherwise sad selves something to cling to and make a core part of their personality.
Well Im not reading into this at all.
When one is said to be reading too much into something, that means that one is making conclusions that might be a bit too strong or a bit too extreme to be supported by the available evidence, or the referenced scenario or story.
Thats not what I am doing here, what I am doing is using my knowledge of firearms to explain an absurdity. I am not really concluding anything other than these people are absurd, heres another reason why.
Many people enjoy lengthy explanations of absurdity in detail so that one can understand the true depth or nature of that absurdity.
If you are not a person who enjoys that, that's fine I guess?
