After months of anguished debate over mass shootings, gun control and Second Amendment rights, the Justice Department finds itself on the defensive after a training manual surfaced that suggests federal agents could face a firing squad for leaking government secrets.

The online manual for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — complete with a photo of a turn-of-the-century firing squad — was obtained by The Washington Times from a concerned federal law enforcement official, and it immediately drew protests from watchdogs who said it showed a lack of sensitivity to gun violence and the continuing hostile environment toward whistleblowers.

Shot straight. Don't make a mess of it!

years ago when I was a Air Force cop we had some classes on the UCMJ that listed a firing squad as one form of punishment for "capital offenses" and several offenses "during a time of war" The most notable one was treason.

Not sure if that still exists.

It's either hanging or firing squad -- don't know which one it is. In France, they still can use the garrote.
