Guns and Children

THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER
>>> General Cosgrove (Australian Army) was interviewed on the radio the other day and
you'll love 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 ABC interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove
who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.
>>>
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going
to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
>>>
GENERAL COSGROVE: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing,archery, and shooting.
>>>
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
>>>
GENERAL COSGROVE: 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 COSGROVE: 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 COSGROVE: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute,
but you're not one, are you?
>>>
>>> The radio went silent and the interview ended.

lol that's about the attitude I get from people who find out that have a gun hobby.

I like that guy he's quick on his feet.

Yeah ... They used the same comment 15 years ago about teaching kids carate.
They will learn self-dicipline before they learn how to fight ... and so on.

good one! Go ahead and teach them about firearms. IF more people would do that instead of leaving their guns around and letting kids handle them not knowing what their doing we as a society would be better off.

What a great post, Lexcen. Yes, I believe in gun control. No, I don't believe in unthinking responses re guns.
