What General Reinwald Thinks About Gun Control
Posted on 07/18/2003 1:10:44 PM PDT by sickofthehandouts
Marine Corps General Reienwald was interviewed on the radio the other day by a female interviewer concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun control this is one of the best comeback lines of all times. It is a portion of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview between the female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald as he was preparing 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: Were going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! Thats a bit irresponsible, isnt it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I dont see why, theyll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Dont you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I dont see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But youre equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, youre equipped to be a prostitute, but youre not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended. You gotta love the Marines.<.pre>

It may be an urban legend but it's still a good one.

You are new here, so I'll humor you. This one crops up at least once a quarter and makes the rounds. Yes, it's cute. Yes, it's very illustrative. But like Laz has already posted, it is entirely FALSE.
FR's search function takes a bit of getting used to, but try searching on keyords like "Reinwald", "Prostitute", or "Gun Control". You can see it comes up a couple of times...
Just some friendly advice...

"...attributed to "Marine Corps General Reinwald."
"The U.S. Army denies that there is a Lieutenant General Reinwald..."
