NPR has said no such interview ever took place. There is this version, with Marine Corps Gen. Reinwald, another where Reinwald is an army general and still another where Reinwald is British. So I guess we can say it’s totally false. Who ever made it up however, does have a good sense of humor.

Let's be nice and take it as a joke. Leave the gentleman's name out of it.

Some things are not easy to prove if you want actual documentation but that does not make them untrue. Even a good lie is laced with some truths and after you bite the truth they have you and can feed you the lies and you believe it.

Subject: Greatest comeback line
Marine Corp’s General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and 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 this!!!! 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, Ma’am, 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!

True or not, it’s funny.

A lot of these kinds of “quotes” have been floating around out there for years.
No need to get up tight over their accuracy. IMO, of course😀
