It's one of the subtler versions of "guns" the GLs have made over the years. John Stewart was a marine and loves to make all kinds of fancy guns and artillery.
My social media feed is filled with stuff which, if I were to write what I really think/feel about current events, I would rightly be swimming in red text and ban warnings. So I guess I'll just be like Kermit up there, scowling and shaking my head as I watch my friends and family tear each other apart over [REDACTED].
I hate how easy it is to turn us against each other. We gotta get better at this.
