Dems have to start fighting fire with fire. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] ramble81@lemmy.world 26 points 3 years ago (1 child) That's a problem when you have one group trying to do what is remotely morally right and another who doesn't care and wants to "win" at any cost. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] aDuckk@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) It's also a problem when a group has most of the guns and is stupid enough to use them without thought for the consequences. Moreso when the authorities responsible for enforcing those consequences tend to be in agreement if not allegiance with the group in question. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago* (1 child) I wouldn't be so sure that they have us out armed.

CIF doesn't even let you keep your canteens when you ETS, let alone weapons. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] drewofdoom@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago Anecdotal, but I had a roommate who was a veteran.
