For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an Australian.

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.

This is 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 broadcast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was over.

LIKE 🌫

It's just a matter of degree,,,

wheel,

So what......the attitude of the " fictitious" interviewer is SPOT ON to the gun control advocates who are spouting their vile dribble. In fact I'm not sure why they need the fictitious Colonel anyway, there's plenty of " real life anti gunners with their bogus numbers supporting their bogus gun grab mentality. 🌫

... your statement makes no sense.

The entire thing is fabricated, and your justification is that it's "ok" because they really portrayed gun control advocates accurately (accurately being a funny word since I'm willing to bet a gun control advocate would say that it sounds nothing like them)?

I'm not even sure why you don't understand the need for the fictitious colonel... the entire thing is fake, they need two fake people to make up a fake interview.

Always deflating the air out of feel good balloons. 🤐

I think the message's intent was good however.

So I guess you aren't interested in facts? You can makeup any BS to support any position you may have but it actually damages the point &/or case you are trying to make. JMO 🐴

on my one trip to Australia, sydney felt like more of a nanny-state than dc or sf.

Damn Julian sorry I got yer shorts so bunched on this one.....HOWEVER you know damn well what I said is true and I don't / didn't need this F'n story to back me up. Of course I'm interested in FACTS....and the fact is there ARE numerous individuals and groups who put forth these same accusations regarding guns and our youth.

You lessen your points value by making up a story in a boy that called wolf manner.

And yes pedro-wheel-pedro-wheel oh heck I forgot my point to you.

I am the Walrus

not Pedro,,,,

wheel,

Bro,

I really am not Pedro,,,

wheel,

Didn't really mean to bust your balls so much. Sometimes I just take things too far. I guess you can see that my mood gets getter after I've had a beer. 🍺
