Are they war or defense products when they are used against your own citizens?

  Neither... it is illegal when used against citizens

    What law are you thinking of? Some tools used in riot enforcements would be illegal to use in wars, so it actually seems to be the other way around to me.

        That sounds like some woke shit that doesn’t stand up to the rights of the President, unless that President is a Democrat.

          “Woke shit” signed into law in 1878. Maybe woke was what the world was like most of the time.

            I was being sarcastic clanker and/or throwaway account. It’s obviously the law but this admin doesn’t respect the law, as they believe we’re in a post Constitutional era. It’s looks like they are manifesting their beliefs since so many people support them, both sides them, or decide it’s not that big a deal when the executive branch of the American government starts executing American citizens and trying to EO away the 14th amendment on farcical grounds.

  What if you're waging a war in the name of defense?

    Then you're waging a war.

      What if it's just a "military operation" or a "military excursion"?
