The gun control mentality assumes the superior knowledge, competence and
beneficience of government employees. It is assumed that no explanation
is needed to understand that government employment embues ignorant,
incompetent and malicious individuals with the opposite set of qualities.
The link below is a video taken of an undercover DEA agent giving a lecture to a 4th grade class.
He subsequently got in trouble for getting his face on camera, although
not for his outrageous behavior recorded by the video. The video was
used in training seminars with other government agencies, and it was
from one of these that the video was leaked to the public domain.
Please show this to anyone telling you that only professionals should
have guns.
April 2006 update: this interesting individual has now filed suit against the DEA in relation to the video. Read the complaint for yourself: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
