John McAfee is crazy and any listening to his rants is a waste of time. I unfortunately read this one thinking it was actually a parody, but since there was no punchline, I realize now I've been suckered into another pointless article. I'm still in disbelief that bragging about a gun is actually coming from a 68 year old man(boy?).

Yeah Me too, guess we were the punchline.

Read between the lines - it's not bragging, it's a pointed threat.
It's trying to be a "pointed threat," but it's really pompous, swaggering machismo, which we might as well call "bragging."

(Assuming it's real, of course. Poe's Law is in effect.)
