Best comeback line (On Gun Safety)
This was sent to me. I thought I would pass it on.
Best comeback line (On Gun Safety)
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.
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 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 momentarily silent and the interview ended.troll Free. It's all in your mind.

Oh my god, it's great to see a general with such poise and wit. And HYSTERICAL. Hahahaha, good one. That woman is a freak for letting the interview take such a turn, and her comments were ignorant, ridiculous and generally uncalled for.
It just goes to show. There are so many people that just 'fear guns' in a very primal way. This is mostly based off of not understanding them. If you are familiar with guns and rifles, it becomes a tool that we respect. Not fear.

If God didn't intend us to have guns why would he have given us a trigger finger?
