Guns and Children....EPIC!!!

[carom]

General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.

Read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.

Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you have to love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.
In a portion of an ABC radio 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 for 46 seconds and when it returned, this interview was over.

A perfect come back

WELL DONE...

She was real smart! How does training a person old or young in the use of firearms automatically make them into a violent killer? That is one of the most absurd things ever. Was she thinking as the words escaped her? His comeback was perfect.

[lawaia]

I love it; GREAT comeback! But who is this General Cosgrove? If he's in the US military, next thing you know he might be forced to retire for telling it like it is, a la General McChrystal.

Major General Peter Cosgrove (retired Australian Army).

He never said that though it would be great if he did.
