While I agree in principle I would be remiss if I didn't say that the ATF is much worse. I mean the DEA doesn't go around sniping kids and all. For those who are curious or unaware read up on Ruby Ridge. Don't forget their handy work in Waco either...

I would wager that far more children have been killed as a direct result of the DEA and the "War on Drugs" than have been killed by the ATF.

That isn't necessarily an interesting observation however, since the ATF only gets involved in operations that are far less common.
