gun control

[ROB]

The following is a portion of a 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, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent, and the interview ended.

A while back some parents in the north east sued the school over the word "gun" being on their child's spelling list. In all the media hoopla we heard for weeks, not one journalist asked about nail guns, staple guns, glue guns, tape guns, price tag guns etc. Isn't it amazing out of all those journalists, no one thought to ask?

All they would have had to do was type the word "gun" in eBay and they would have had hundreds of hits.
