The hunt for politeness continues.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” is polite to his child.

When they (police–ed.) arrived, a man said he was handling his gun when it accidentally went off.

His son was struck by the bullet and taken to an the hospital with serious injuries.

One more time, “accidentally” and “negligently” do not mean the same thing.

Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” didn’t know the gun was loaded when he sent a bullet into a neighbor’s house.

Authorities spoke with the homeowner, 34-year-old Lucas Hauman, who admitted he had discharged a 9mm Glock 45 handgun while trying to manipulate it.

Hauman told officers that he didn’t think the gun was loaded.

“Manipulate.”

Methinks another “M” word would be more appropri–oh, never mind.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” discharges his responsibility in yet another random act of politeness.

Yet another family chose to celebrate Christmas by sharing politeness with a child.

We are a broken society.

Show politeness to your fellow motorists.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” demonstrates that said phrase is an oxymoron.

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.

This family celebrated their Christmas with politeness.

We are a broken society.

Show your politeness to your parent.

A 47-year-old woman was hospitalized Saturday morning after her son accidentally shot her in the parking lot of a local Walmart . . . .

According to Rio Grande City assistant police Chief Jose Solis, the woman was in a vehicle with her 21-year-old son and a third family member when the gun accidentally went off, shooting her in the back.

At Psychology Today Blogs, Danny Mulligan, Erica Marshall-Lee, and Desireé G. Frain lament our daily bloodbath of gun violience. Then they go on to posit that “. . . sensational media coverage not only rewards shooters with notoriety—it manufactures misleading and divisive narratives about gun violence.” They proceed to explore four myths that they believe said media coverage promotes:

• Myth 1: Mass shootings are a major driver of American gun violence
• Myth 2: Suicide is caused solely by the neurochemical imbalances that cause mental illness
• Myth 3: Gun violence is mainly caused by individuals with mental illness
• Myth 4: Gun violence can be explained by monocausal narratives

Over the weekend, Greer said she went to feed LeMon (her horse–ed.) but found a horrific scene instead.

Greer called her veterinarian to come over not knowing exactly what happened and that’s when they found a bullet hole.

According to Greer, neighbors heard a gunshot during the overnight hours.

She said LeMon was so friendly that he probably went right up to the shooter.

“All I could do was cry and scream,” Greer said. “It’s just evil.”

Thus endeth another life in our gun nuts’ Paradise of Politeness.

. . . and and you just may be pampered.

Another child.

We are a broken society.

. . . and another “responsible gun owner” discharges his responsibility.

Waynesville (NC–ed) police said it was Saturday when a man walked into Clyde’s Restaurant. It was packed for dinner on a late Saturday afternoon. Chief David Adams said when the man, and the woman he was with, went to pay at the counter, the revolver he had in his pants pocket went off. The restaurant’s surveillance camera picked up the incident.

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 oxymoronic “responsible gun owner.”

Another car.

Another improperly stored firearm.

Another child.

Our society’s addiction to lead is killing us.

. . . and meet some oxymoronic “responsible gun owners.”

Another child is offered to the NRA’s leaden idol.

More back seat politeness:

According to police, the suspect and the victim were in a car with one other person when, from the back seat, the loaded gun that the suspect was handling went off once, hitting him in the leg before striking the victim in the driver’s seat.

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.

Party with politeness.

Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” chooses to be polite to our furry four-legged friends.

It would seem that, in gun nut world, “SPCA” stands for the “Society for Pointing Carbines at Animals.”

We are a broken society.
