Yeah I know it’s pedantic and I’m not a gun nut by any stretch. But here’s an example. If you were to call a trackball a mouse. They functionally do the same thing and most people would realize what you were talking about in context. But to a computer nerd, they are not the same thing.
These chuckle-fucks are not qualified by any stretch of the word. No self respecting person that has actually had gun training would act like this. It’s stupid, unsafe, unprofessional, and just makes them look like idiots which I’m guessing most are. So if you want to make fun of them and be effective to the gun nuts, it helps to use the appropriate terminology. And we need the gun nuts to realize how dangerous and unprofessional these gravy seals are.
Thats all I was trying to convey. Sorry if I came off like an asshole. I wasn’t trying to be.
