I'm not the government, I'm common sense
You're not common sense. You're just a cog in the machine, ...and when you get too worn, and have outlived your usefulness, you will be replaced, melted down and shipped off to China along with all the other scrap metal. Not trying to be disrespectful, ...just calling it like I see it.
Once all the combat vets are disarmed, ...next will be the cops, ...before they discover that powers that be are coming after their bank accounts and pensions.
ps: There are certain neighbourhoods I wouldn't want to drive through unless I was in a tank.
