The hunt for politeness continues.

One more time: “Responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

Ed Finton, who has lived in the neighborhood for 40 years, saw the ordeal unfold.

“I woke up to gunfire,’’ Finton said. “My dog was going nuts.”

“I could see a guy standing in the middle of 80th Street with a long gun just shooting randomly,” he said. “When I saw that I called 911. The only thing I knew was the SUV had crashed into the pole.”

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

Once again, politeness becomes child’s play.

Think for a moment: what is the common denominator in gun deaths?

No, it’s not “death”; that’s the quotient.

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

Musical NotesGuns 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 oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” is polite to his hunting companion.

Guns are instruments of death. They should be treated with caution and respect.

Words desert me.

Musical NotesGuns 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.

Show politeness to your hunting companions.

Aside:

I think I’ve told this story before, but it seems germane.

Many years ago, my brother’s boss at the time mentioned that he was giving up hunting.

He was returning from a hunting trip when he heard a couple of other hunters talking.

One said, “Did you get anything?”

The other answered, “No, but I got off a couple of sound shots.”

And we are again at the confluence of guns and stupid.
