Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” discharges his responsibility. From the police press release:

This morning, while Bus Line 108 was stopped at Slauson and Fairfax (in Ladera Heights, CA–ed.), a rider accidently (sic) discharged a firearm, injuring himself.

And yet again we are reninded that “accidentally” and “negligently” are not synonyms.

“Negligently” refers to failing to exercise due care and responsibility, as implied by the phrase “responsible gun owner.”

“Accidentally” is a “Get Out of Jail Free” card for oxymoronic (emphasis on the “moronic”) “responsible gun owners.”

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

The Defiance County Sheriff’s Office says they are investigating after a 2-year-old boy was killed in an accidental shooting in a Hicksville home over the weekend.

The sheriff’s office says preliminary evidence indicates the shooting was accidental, happening after children gained access to an unsecured and loaded firearm. . . .

Yet another member of America’s unregulated militia performs a random act of politteness.

We are a broken society.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” discharges his responsibility.

Three people were grazed by shrapnel after an accidental discharge at a farmers’ market in Decatur on Saturday.

Decatur Police Department officials said that they made contact with a man who said that his gun accidentally discharged while it was in his pocket when he stood up. . . .

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

Another child.

Florida woman finds politeness in a parking lot.

Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” didn’t know the gun was loaded.

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

Yet another “responsible gun owner” practices self-politeness.

Whatever happened to “don’t point a gun at something unless you intend to shoot it”?

Yet more responsible gun owners discharge their responsibities whilst traversing the nation’s byways.

We are a society of stupid.

Another day in the NRA’s Garden of Bleedin’.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

There’s definitely something fishy about this politeness.

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” attempts to settle a difference with his politeness.

We are a broken society.

Mistaken politeness.

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

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

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

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

The 59-year-old victim was walking along the beach in the 3600 block of South Lakeshore Road in Lexington Township with her sister and niece, who live in the Grand Blanc area, around 10:45 a.m. Sunday.

The three women heard a loud sound consistent with a gunshot. Seconds later, the 59-year-old felt a pain in her leg and noticed a wound that started bleeding.

The Sanilac County Sheriff’s Office believes the shooting was accidental from someone practice shooting or firing a gun into the air.

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

And another “responsible gun owner” feels constrained to flaunt his portable phallus whilst traversing the countryside.

We are a broken society.

Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” performs a random act of politeness.

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.

Several times in this series of posts that started when I saw a car plastered with NRA bumper stickers when this blog was very young, I’ve noted many occasions when politeness went to the dogs.

This time, the dog went to politeness.

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

Another “responsible gun owner.”

Another exposed portable phallus.

Another child’s life ended early.

Another day in NRA Paradise.
