I think he said it himself “....and then there’s ignorant mf’s like you.” Mirror, mirror. So my vote is, well actually, I think he qualifies for both categories. :>}

Yeah, but starting today you can buy firecrackers for a week here in KS. No bottle rockets, though, they are classified as deadly automatic assault weapons.
