Well played, sir. Well played

A reporter at Hairballs, one of the blogs operated by The Houston Press, called up the Lions Club in Manvel, located in northern Brazoria County, to give them a hard time about raffling off 100 hunting rifles to raise money to build a Little League field. 
The reporter wound up talking to Tom Amundsen, who wouldn't take the bait exactly and kept his cool despite what we imagine were all sorts of leading questions (the writer was just doing her job; we understand completely.)
When it came time to fish or cut bait, Tom left the Hairballs gal with this, a turned-around cliche, of course, but one that had to be uttered in light of the circumstances: 

And does Amundsen see any irony in raffling guns to help battered women? (for a previous fund-raiser)

“No, I don’t think there’s any irony to that,” he says evenly. “You could say the same thing if we were raffling a Corvette. A husband could run over his wife with the Corvette he won. Guns don’t batter women, men batter women."
