More evidence that the media asks the right questions and gets to the
true heart of an issue.

Marine Corps 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 a
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. All over America, people
were thinking: Semper Fi, Marine!

Funny, yes, but NPR usually doesn't have such complete idiots asking loaded questions like that. Gotta love Snopes!

AmusedOne,
I have noticed in the short time I have been here that you have this irritating propensity for confusing many issues by interjecting the facts. Please cease and desist this annoying habit immediately. Seek professional help if you need it.:)
