Marines Answer to Gun Control

Marine Corp's General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the lady who Interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this!!!!

This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion
of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended

You gotta love the Marines

Too bad it's fake. What a great response. If you ask me, I think gun training would be great for some kids. Shows them not to be afraid of firearms but to respect them.

The point is that neither the General not the NPR interviewer would make such implausible statements - many people are not bright enough to figure it out on their own and would think of this spoof as something that actually happened.

It's not like I am opposed to guns - anyone who know me knows how much I like guns. ;)
