Lucky, you didn't include the full text. Here it is:

If anyone thinks I'm joking, remember that the Fedz have imposed new
restrictions on mailbox companies. As usual, they seek the monopoly.

Ban guns in private hands, but issue MP5 submachine guns to black-clad
ninja raiders.

Now they propose to run mail-forwarding services...but only for the
politically-approved classses of people. And ban it for others.

Fucking criminals deserve to be nuked.
