When cliches come to life . . . .

Yes, he shot himself in the foot while playing with a portable phallus.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Once again, politeness becomes child’s play.

Following an initial investigation, APD determined that a 10-year-old child along with the 8-year-old had found a gun and were playing with it. The gun reportedly discharged and hit the 8-year-old. APD said the child was taken to the hospital and is in critical condition.

Once again, we are reminded that “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

The hunt for politeness goes on.

A 26-year-old man was killed while hunting in a group of 24 during a “deer drive,” the Pennsylvania Game Commission said.

One wonders, was it the antlers or the fluffy little white tail?

When I was a young ‘un, shooting at tin cans in the back yard of Pine View Farm (except during hunting season, because there might have been hunters in the woods on the other side of the field behind the back yard and the bullet from a .22 rifle can carry for a a mile or more), I was taught to treat every gun as if it were loaded unless I personally verified that it was not. (I was a pretty good shot, too. I once picked off a–oh, never mind.)

I was also taught never to point a gun at anything or any creature unless I intended to shoot it.

Apparently, those lessons aren’t taught any more, because we have become a society of stupid fascinated with firearms, but with no concept of how to use them properly.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” exposes a child to politeness.

The 14-year-old’s mother brought a handgun in her purse for a scheduled medical appointment at the hospital, 1801 Hickman Road, according to a news release from Des Moines Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Paul Parizek. She left the purse with her son and, while alone in the room, he accidentally fired it, striking himself in the leg, Parizek said.

One more time, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” displays politeness on the pavement.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

And thus passeth more lives in the NRA’s Garden of Bleedin’.

Brotherly politeness.

Another one of those “responsible gun owners” practices self-politeness.

The 43-year-old man told officers he accidentally shot himself while placing a firearm into his pocket, according to dispatches from APD. The man self-reported the incident to police around 11:20 a.m. from the 2800 block of Telek Place.

Another “responsible gun owner.”

Another exposed portable phallus.

Another child.

Too many guns.

Too much stupid.

When carolers come a-caroling, greet them with politeness.

An Annapolis man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly pointed a gun at three 12-year-old girls who had come to his door to sing carols Saturday night. . . .

We are a broken society.

Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” fails to keep his portable phallus in his pants.

In Douglas County (Nebraska–ed.) court Tuesday, KETV learns more about the 5-year-old boy who shot himself early Sunday afternoon.

Prosecutors say he was sleeping with his father, who had the gun in his pants. The man reportedly had a gun safe and was aware of how to use it.

“The defendant reported that he must’ve fallen asleep, the gun fell out of his pocket,” the prosecuting attorney said in court.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

The hunt for politeness continues apace.

Another child.

And another reminder that, despite what words police spokespersons and news reports might use, “accidental” and “negligent” are not synonyms.
