RE: Check out this interview from an anti-gun reporter
I think that this is one of those made-for-internet stories, and I doubt there is any truth to it being an actual event. I've seen it attributed to a Marine General, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, an Army General, an Army Colonel and now this Aussie General.
That being said, it does make an excellent point. Just because something can be used for an evil purpose, doesn't mean that it will. This is a concept that many on the left just can't seem to grasp.
