I don’t know why you’re saying they’re an asshole. Do you not like them for some reason besides writing a satirical comment? Is Jonathan Swift an asshole for writing A Modest Proposal?
The user they replied to had a legitimate concern for their safety and took steps that allowed them protect themselves in some possible scenarios. Why the fuck would anyone mock that?
I empathize with their safety concern, but I reject the assertion that carrying a gun makes anyone safer. I think it increases the chances of someone getting shot, including the carrier.
I guess because of this, I didn’t interpret the satirical comment as straight-up mockery.
Suppose I said I always carry a katana for protection on the subway. It’s outlandish — you’d be within your rights to make a little fun of my solution! It doesn’t invalidate the real safety issues and unacceptable violence that do exist.
Just trying to explain my interpretation of this comment thread. You’re free to have your own opinion :)
I’m aware it was satire. They’re still an asshole. What’s your point?

Assholes. Assholes would.
