“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
And a polite society is a clean society.
Whenever I cleaned my guns, I first made sure they were not loaded.
Why? Because I’m not stupid.
I am sometimes thoughtless, inconsiderate, selfish, preoccupied, self-centered, conceited (as I was informed in the sixth grade), full of myself, occasionally arrogant, and headstrong.
But not stupid.
It seems that NRA Paradise is peopled by the stupid.
Afterthought:
Why is it that, in police reports, men become “males” and women become “females”? (I know that men and women are “males” and “females,”–when I was a teenager, my parents gave me a book on The Facts of Life and Love for Teenagers* that informed me of that startling fact–but, really, now, synonyms and all that . . . .)
Inquiring minds want to know.
