Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio some time ago and this is his reply to the woman who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you got to love this!!!!
This is a portion of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcast journalist 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.

“Because everything we say and do is the length and shadow of our own souls, our influence is
determined by the quality of our being.”-Dale E.Turner
Toy guns these days are not what they were when I was
a kid. Some do everything a real one does, minus firing an
actual bullet. They have ones that have recoil, eject toy
shell casings, slide cocking action, etc.
What are your thoughts on these very realistic toy guns,
and their influence on kids?
I have a clean criminal record
what does that tell you?
I also at times carried Loaded Firearms (Licensed to Carry) but all I did was let the other person know I was armed, and ready to use if necessary, and no shots were ever needed
p.s. caps are for emphasis only I do not know how to make italic letters :) I raved you both times.
I know that a kid will make a gun out of anything if that's what he wants. If you take the toy, he/she will use a stick,take the stick, they'll use their fingers.You just have to talk to your kids and teach them right from wrong.
There is NOTHING wrong with toy guns. However there are Irresponsible parents.
Its Not Like Its Real And They're Gonna Go Out On A Shooting Spree.
Its A Friggin Toy !
I Hate Sensetive Ass Bitches
