Reading your comment before the article completely threw me. At the time it was the only comment, and so I thought the whole thing was a parody of how using autotools is overkill or something. (Or, knowing nothing like I did, maybe about some sort of AutoCAD software suite, which can also be likened to some forms of violence.) Confoundation ensued until I came back and other posters noted it's actually satire about actual gun use. Though it was a bit fun attempting to misinterpret the whole piece that way. Turns out it's funny from every angle.
