Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day.

You have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love his!!!! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.

It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: 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 REINWALD: 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 REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended. You gotta love the Marines!

HaHa. So true. After Columbine, our school got really uptight about the ROTC on campus. And this reminds me of another story:

Quote:

A funny thing happened to me yesterday at Camp Bondsteel (Bosnia): A French army officer walked up to me in the PX, and told me he thought we (Americans) were a bunch of cowboys and were going to provoke a war. He said if such a thing happens, we wouldn't be able to count on the support of France.

I told him that it didn't surprise me. Since we had come to France's rescue in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the Cold War, their ingratitude and jealousy was due to surface at some point in the near future anyway. That is why France is a third-rate military power with a socialist economy and a bunch of ***gots for soldiers.

I additionally told him that America, being a nation of deeds and action, not words, would do whatever it had to do, and France's support was only for show anyway. Just like in ALL NATO exercises, the US would shoulder 85% of the burden, as evidenced by the fact that the French officer was shopping in the American PX, and not the other way around.

He began to get belligerent at that point, and I told him if he would like to, I would meet him outside in front of the Burger King and beat his ass in front of the entire Multi-National Brigade East, thus demonstrating that even the smallest American had more fight in him than the average Frenchman.

He called me a barbarian cowboy and walked away in a huff.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

ya that's great... I'm big into guns.. and liberal.. .I don't get the big hangup... people are just sissies...

*ChrisCantSkate* · 06-06-2003, 04:48 PM

when they are taken care of by sane individuals then im all for people possessing guns, but its the road rage ****s and people who think they are god because they have a gun and will point it at you for looking at you weird that makes me not like em. my friend was almost shot in the face at point blank range(his best freind was shot 5 seconds before that

) because a freind of his defended himself in a fight and won.... so im kinda against guns

That is the key there. They (The Marine Corps) aren't teaching children how to carjack (Vice City style) or hold a gun to someone's face after an arguement. They are more the likely teaching them proper care and handling of loaded and unloaded weapons. Too many people get hurt a year because they are not educated about firearms.

But I do not see a place in society for fire-arms. They are just some relics of days gone past of cowboy days or the American Revolution. But, that's America, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Sounds like you'd be the Mess'kan that would bring a knife to a gun fight. I agree, guns should be used as a last resort, and far too often they are drawn at the first sign of trouble. Just the other day, like 2 minutes from my house, a woman was doing dishes in her kitchen when bullets started coming through the walls. Apparently, a couple of men across the road got in a fight in the parking lot, one pulled a gun and started firing. They said one bullet missed her torso by less then a foot.

Hiiii, I'm wayne, I'm a gun person.... bang, bang.... haha

06-09-2003, 12:29 AM

I won't sing my gun song because I'm @#$%ed up in the head and most people just don't want to hear it. So I'll just cheer for the general and give a thumbs up.

06-09-2003, 06:41 AM

I wanna hear the gun song!

pimpinprelude · 06-09-2003, 09:00 AM

"nothing like unloading 50rounds in 1 minute into the side of a rusted out 64 1/2 mustang"

gun control is retarded....

06-09-2003, 11:07 AM

Now, I haven't read the whole thread, but about guns.

You'll find in places like Texas, SC or the south in general where it's abnormal NOT to have a gun, the crime rate is WAY low.

pimpinprelude · 06-09-2003, 07:38 PM

yup.. there is a city down here..i cant remember whare it is??? uuh yea but anyway.. that made it a law for ALL house owners to own a gun, and the crime rates went waaaaaaaaaaaaay down..i mean would you rob a house if you knew that somebody in there was packing heat??? not me thank you...

what the hell are you talking about?...abnormal to not have a gun?...most of the people in texas who have guns use it for sport...not going around on shooting sprees...
you live in new jersey...i can see why you made that comment...because you're mad that the spurs are gonna kick your ass...lol, j/k
Go Spurs Go!!!

06-10-2003, 08:52 AM

Pay attention ass monkey. It's abnormal for a person in Texas not to have a gun. Same in SC. Same in a lot of the South. And the crime is way down. If you are from down there somewhere, this was a COMPLIMENT. Pay attention.

You gonna tell me that in Texas over 75% of the people don't have a handgun? I didn't say they went around on shooting sprees, but they do pack the heat.

*Addict* · 06-10-2003, 10:01 AM

That's great. You gotta love the come back on that one.

I'm all for conceal & carry.

nonovurbizniz · 06-10-2003, 11:30 AM

06-10-2003, 01:17 PM
