Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the
other
day by a female interviewer concerning guns and children

 Regardless of how you feel about gun control this is one of the
best
comeback lines of all time.  It is a portion of a National
Public
Radio (NPR) interview between the female broadcaster and US
Marine Corps General Reinwald as he was preparing 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?

There was silence then on the radio and the interview was over.
