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.

A 3-year-old accidentally shot a man Thursday night after a firearm was left unsecured in Delray Beach, police said.

I’m certain that, as regards the three-year-old, it was accidental. But, as regards the “responsible gun owner,” it was negligent.

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

Yet another case of politeness on the pavement.

We have become an uncivilized society.

Yet another one of those “responsible gun owners” exposes a portable phallus to a toddler.

(Fortunately, the child suffered only minor injuries, at least, minor physical injuries.)

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

Once again, politeness becomes child’s play.

Yet another responsible gun owner decides to expose his portable phallus.

The victims said that a man was showing off a gun and it accidentally went off, striking himself in the stomach and a woman in the leg, police said.

Just another day in the NRA’s Garden of Bleedin’.

Once again, politeness goes for the dogs.

Jonathan told WAVE he came home last Saturday to find Rex hurt, beaten up as if he’d been run over. So, he checked his Ring camera.

“Everything was fine, everything was fine, everything was fine, until a gold F-150 pulled up and everything was not fine,” he said.

The camera shows a man reach out of that truck and point a gun at Rex, shooting him in the leg.

Yet another of those “responsible gun owners” exposes his portable phallus to children, and politeness becomes child’s play.

We are a society of stupid.

He responded to parental discipline with politeness.

A Bemidji, Minnesota teenager was charged by juvenile petition last week with shooting his parents, telling police he became “irate” after they revoked his cellphone privileges.

Thus passeth another day in NRA paradise.

If you wish to force your moral views on other, do so with politeness.

Yet more neighborly politeness.

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.

They get fiendlier every day.

When you attend a party, be sure to treat the other guests to some politeness.

More politeness on the pavement:

Investigators say the victim had just left a gas station when a black Dodge Charger that had been in the same parking lot began following him down the highway. The caller told deputies someone inside the Charger threw a bottle at his vehicle before the suspect vehicle pulled alongside him and fired a gun.

We are a broken society.

There’s nothing like a little brotherly politeness.

Two “responsible gun owners” are driven to politeness.

The report details a chaotic sequence of events in which both vehicles veered into oncoming traffic lanes and off the roadway while trying to evade or confront one another.

Authorities say the situation ended when the pickup truck rear-ended Henderson’s vehicle near an intersection.

Witnesses told deputies they saw a driver waving a gun out of a window and both vehicles driving recklessly, putting others on the road at risk.

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.

Another child . . . .

The report says it’s being investigated as an accident. Why isn’t it being investigated as negligence? you might ask.

Because calling it an accident lets the person responsible off the hook. That’s why.

More neighborly politeness:

A man accidentally shot into his neighbor’s home while cleaning his illegal weapon, the Prince William County Police Department reports.

And again, one must needs note that “accidentally” and “negligently” are not synonyms.
