Friendly Fire is more than a real store. True, it acquires permits, pays wages and taxes, and sells merchandise. But its value is not profit. No more than Drug Enforcement Agency sting operations are about profit. It's a set-up. It's faux. The DEA entices those with a proclivity toward crime to engage in an illicit activity so they can be recognized. Friendly Fire offers those with a penchant for democracy the opportunity to be recognized as a political player.
