Shooting in the tent

Infighting
1)When you and/or someone else Criticize a friend or a Political Party, or a News organization that lean towards your political affiliation, but don't agree on specifics and practicalities that fit your niche of that political affiliation.
In other words, you have the same broad worldview of how things should be but you disagree on the specifics.

2)One might blame another for "shooting in the tent" when he criticizes and chastises members of his own political party while the opponents of said party can gain power on the back of "Infighting".

The metaphor is for a guy that has a guy in a tent and has beef with one person and tries to shoot him while endangering his friends as well.
"Man, you really have to stop Shooting in the tent. we're all on the same side after all."

"You don't have to agree 100% and still work for the bigger issues.

But if you keep shooting in the tent you will bring all of us down!"

Shooting gallery

(noun) A location that is a safe haven for IV drug users to be around like-minded individuals, where they can consume/inject their drugs without fear of any scrutiny, prejudice or negative repercussions. More often than not such places also sell drugs that is readily available.
You could tell that Tara didn't know that Jenny's place was a popular neighborhood shooting gallery. The first thing she saw was Tommy hitting Johnny with some clear, Stevie hitting Raymond with some clear and I was injecting Shannon with some clear. If Tara had stayed around a bit longer she might could have snuck a few peeps of me injecting Shannon with some of my premium grade seen. But alas it looked as though she had seen enough already to make her skin crawl.
