Bring your politeness to the party.

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.

We are again reminded that, when negligence is committed with politeness, it becomes merely an accident.

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

Thus passeth the life of another child in NRA Paradise.

We are a broken society.

Once again, politeness becomes child’s play.

Once again, to must be noted and “accidental” and “negligent” are not synonyms.

And, in more news of the polite . . . .

Yet more politeness in transit . . . .

Yet another oxymoronic responsible gun owner comports himself with courtesy whilst traversing the nation’s byways.

Politeness is a family value.

He worships the NRA’s leaden idol.

Yet another oxymoronic responsible gun owner . . . .

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.

If you have paid any attention to the news, you’ve no doubt heard of the six-year-old who shot his teacher with his mother’s gun. (Here’s the latest as of the time I write this.)

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gene Collier, says, to bluntly paraphrase him, that there’s no surprises here.

Here’s a bit from his column; I urge you to read the rest.

“This,” said Newport News Mayor Phillip Jones, “is a red flag for the country.”

Respectfully, Mayor, you new to this country?

This country did not lose its gun-loving mind last Friday. It took decades upon decades of ill-conceived arguments, millions upon millions of gun lobby dollars, and generations upon generations of gutless politicians to make this a country with more guns than people, a country with less than 5 % of the world’s population holding 40 percent of its civilian-owned weaponry.

. . . and this polite society’s politeness is going to the dogs (along with everything else).

We are a society of stupid.

Yet another driver is polite in passing.

The rot gets deeper.

I do not think it’s much of a stretch to argue that, though slavery is America’s original sin, its fascination with firearms is its Achilles heel.

Politeness once again becomes child’s play.

And thus passeth another life in NRA Paradise.

Celebrate special occasions with politeness.

Gallagher was on her front stoop, ringing in the New Year with her bell, when she felt a sharp pain on her shoulder.

(Snip)

Already in pain, and crying, she took off her sweater and then made the startling discovery: a bullet fell to the ground.

We are a society of stupid.

Yet another child is sacrificed to the NRA’s leaden idol in yet another random act of politeness.

We are a failing state.
