“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

If you find someone’s celebration to be annoying, admonish the celebrants with politeness.

Musical NotesGuns 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.

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

Too many guns. Too much stupid.

At the get-together, be sure to party with politeness.

We are a broken society.

And, again, politeness becomes child’s play.

And thus passeth another life, sacrificed at the feet of the idol of the portable phallus.

A Disarming Action 0

In a somewhat surprising twist, the armed society just got a little more polite.

Another incident of courtesy on the concrete.

Afterthought:

I was chatting with a neighbor a couple of days ago and she mentioned that, when she goes to watch her niece play lacrosse for her school, she has to go through a metal detector to get to the stands.

We are a broken society that has sacrificed civility at the feet of the idol of the portable phallus.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” indulges in a random act of politeness.

According to a preliminary investigation, the (four-year-old–ed.) child found a loaded “ghost gun” — a firearm without a serial number — under a bed during a game of hide-and-seek. In a news release Monday, police said it appears a round was accidentally discharged, striking the child in the arm.

Too many guns.

Too much stupid.

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

The Kansas City Police Department reported an accidental shooting on Saturday night that left one boy, under the age of 5, hospitalized with critical injuries.

(snip)

Police said that preliminary investigations revealed the boy had picked up an unsecured firearm and accidentally shot himself.

Thus passeth another day in the NRA’s Garden of Bleedin’.

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

According to a Facebook post by the Green Oak Township Police Department, officers were dispatched at about 7:10 p.m. Friday on the report of a “loud boom” at Legacy. When they responded, they found that the man had “shot himself in the buttocks after adjusting his pants”; he was transported by Livingston County Ambulance to a local hospital.

According to other information gleaned from Facebook, the incident happened during a girls volleyball game.

Too many guns. Too much stupid.

Another child:

Ortiz’s family said she (10-year-old Isdennyeliz Ortiz–ed.) was downstairs asleep in bed when a relative upstairs accidentally fired a gun. They say the one bullet traveled through the floor, hitting Ortiz.

And another news writer who is ignorant of the difference between “accidentally” and “negligently.”

Too many guns. Too much stupid.

We are a broken society.

Politeness again becomes child’s play.

A 7-month-old was in the hospital Tuesday after another juvenile accidentally shot them, according to Hampton police.

(snip)

Police say that the juvenile who shot the baby had an “unsecured firearm” and that the shooting was an accident, though they are still investigating the circumstances.

And, once again, “negligence” is misplet a-c-c-i-d-e-n-t.

(Broken link fixed. The story has been update to state the child’s age as one year, rather than seven months.)

Yet another “responsible gun owner” gets a leg up on cleanliness.

Aside:

You may be tired of my harping on this.

Me, I’m tired of the stupid, the bloodshed, and especially the stupid bloodshed.
