General Cosgrove 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.

Far too many dumbasses on the internet passing off everything they see as reality.

Still, it makes a point.
I am a big supporter of the right to bear arms (I wear sleeveless blouses all the time... ooooh, I'm soooo sorry, sometimes I just can't stop myself!). When people tell me about the statistics of kids who get shot or shoot each other I just can't fathom their logic. It's not the gun's fault. It's not the kids' fault. It's the fault of the kids' stupid parents for not being responsible. Tragic as it is for the kids, it's almost like a Darwinism. I say punish the parents (or the adult whose gun it was), not the kids.
