    I’m not sure how you’re getting that out of what they posted. Reads more “know thine enemy” than power fantasy to me.

      If know thine enemy is code for living in an oppressive gun nut culture where we lose around fifty thousand Americans to gun violence every year, then sure.

      Number one killer of children in the US and the best we can muster is, “You have got to be familiar with guns because we are surrounded by them.” This is the definition of pathetic resignation.
