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.
