Is This Any Way To Run a Drug War? (Video)

|

The Smoking Gun is turning 10 years old and they're celebrating by beefing up the video component of that invaluable source for all sorts of official, semi-official, and secret documents.

Here's a clip they're touting that will be of special interest to Reason readers–and to all opponents of the War on Drugs and stupid government in general. Watch as a Drug Enforcement Administration agent literally shoots himself in the foot with a Glock handgun while teaching Florida school kids about gun safety. "I'm the only one professional enough in this room that I know of to handle a Glock 40," boasts the agent immediately before injuring himself.

After the boom-boom, he sagely adds: "Guys: Never play with guns."

Which, if nothing else, should have made the kids glad that he wasn't teaching sex ed.
