A polite society is, as we know, a clean society.
Afterthought:
If you have never cleaned a firearm, know that it is a lengthy and arduous process when done correctly. It is also an extremely annoying task (again, when done correctly). Back when I had a rifle, I cleaned it when necessary, but I certainly did not enjoy the task.

In a rational world, one counteracts the other, but not, it seems, in our society of stupid.
