Yet another responsible gun owner demonstrates the oxymoronic (emphasis on the “moronic”) nature of the phrase, “responsible gun owner.”

And, again, politeness becomes child’s play.

We are a failed society.

“Actions Speak Louder . . . .” 0

Roy Johnson sums it up:

Let’s just be truthful. Let’s look in the mirror and stop pretending. Look in the mirror and stop denying what we see. Look in the mirror and stop lying.

America, we love our guns more than we love our children.

Aside:

Methinks that. when he typed “A-m-e-r-i-c-a,” he missplet “R-e-p-u-b-l-i-c-a-n-s.”

“Actions Speak Louder . . . .” 0

Steven M. points out that, in a putative democracy, you get what you vote for. A snippet:

If you look at polling on guns, you’ll probably conclude that Americans are extremely dissatisfied with the nation’s gun laws.

(snip poll numbers)

But Americans don’t vote these beliefs. In every nationwide election, and in state and local elections everywhere except the bluest areas, a solid majority of white Americans vote Republican. They know that Republicans oppose virtually every measure that limits gun ownership, or that even creates a small speed bump before a gun can be purchased. But they vote GOP anyway.

It’s simple: If you want the gun laws to change, don’t vote Republican.

In his article, he’s focused on guns, but, natch, his argument can be extended to other issues.

Yet more evidence that “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron . . .

Two people were injured after a gun related incident at 3rd Bar in Seneca around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 25th.

(snip)

As information was gathered, it appears the gun shot was the result of an accidental discharge of the pistol, injuring both male and female patron.

. . . and yet another reminder that “accidental” and “negligent” do not carry the same meaning.

Backpackin’ politeness.

The day care center (in South Holland, Ill.–ed.) is closed Friday after a 9-year-old student coming for after-school care brought a gun in his backpack. According to officials, when the student set down his backpack, the gun inside went off.

We are a broken society.

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

Close to midnight on Saturday, Lansing Police were called to a house on West Jolly near Waverly Road. According to authorities, a man accidentally shot himself while holstering a handgun at his home.

We are a society of stupid.

The holstered gun of a lunchroom parent/volunteer at Pinckney’s Navigator Upper Elementary School landed on the floor when the holster fell off the man’s belt as he was “engaging with students in the gym” on Friday, according to a letter that went out to district parents after 3 p.m.

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