Default Guns are bad?

General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.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 an 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 INTERVIEWERon'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.

I wish it were real, that would make it even better. It's a good joke nonetheless.

When my computer starts up, it would play that instead of a quote from Full Metal Jacket.

I wonder when people will realize gun crimes are a CRIME, reguardless of the rules in place people will still get guns just like drugs and break the law. And by having gun controll you are only disarming the common folk and not the criminals.

Pipe bombs are illegal and people get arrested for having them quite often.

Firearms arent hard to make. Look at the french resistance during WWII making STEN guns.

Criminals will always have a way to get what they want.... illegally

When my oldest one was just a baby, I had the "obstacle" on start-up and "sleep with your rifles" on shut down.

When I had Pulp Fiction on start-up, it would scare the **** out of my wife "Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration".
