Settle disagreements with politeness.

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.

Once again, politeness becomes child’s play.

The caller reported a 5-year-old bleeding from his leg.

According to HCSO, Park Rangers and EMS arrived, it was discovered the child was left in a family car when he began playing with a firearm.

The 5-year-old fired off a round, grazing his leg.

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

And far too many morons own guns.

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

Oh! And speaking of life in NRA Paradise . . . .

At Psychology Today Blogs, Carolyn Reinach Wolf finds a straw at which to grasp. Here’s a teaser:

After years of school shootings, a shift has finally emerged in how we as a country, and crucially the legal system, perceives the accountability of gun owners, specifically parents. Colin Gray, father of the 14-year-old who killed four people and injured nine others in the latest massacre at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder, four counts of involuntary manslaughter and eight counts of cruelty to children.

What happens next is uncertain, but we’ve already seen a major shift in legal precedent. Earlier this year, two separate juries in Michigan found the parents of a school shooter guilty of manslaughter after prosecutors showed they not only purchased the weapon he used in the shooting for their son and failed to secure it, but also ignored numerous warnings from the school and cries for help from their own child.

Yet more politeness on the pavement.

Too many guns. Too much stupid.

Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” exposes a child to politiness, and politeness become child’s play.

Politeness is a family value.

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.

The stupid.

The shot rang out on September 15 inside the Costco location near Kalamazoo on Century Avenue.

The firearm was inside a woman’s purse when it went off.

The gun’s legal owner was shot in her hand, according to the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office.

It burns.

Addendum:

The gun that went off inside a Costco near Kalamazoo was a Michigan State Police officer’s state-issued service weapon, authorities say.

The MSP officer, whose name was not released, was off duty Sunday when the gun “accidentally discharged” from inside her purse at the Costco on Century Avenue off Michigan Avenue in Oshtemo Township.

Words fail me.

On second thought, no, they don’t.

Guns do not “accidentally” discharge, but they can, indeed, “negligently” discharge.

“Accidentally” and “negligently” are not synonyms.

And, again, politeness becomes child’s play . . . .

On Saturday night, 8-year-old Phillip’e Woodward accidentally shot and killed himself with a loaded shotgun he was playing with in his grandmother’s house.

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

A little politeness, just in passing, don’t you know . . . .

Too many guns. Too much stupid.

Another case of courtesy on the concrete.

Too many guns. Too much stupid.

More guns and stupid.

No excerpt or summary will do this story justice. Just go read it.

And you thought it was just a metaphor . . . .

The juvenile told police they had accidentally shot themselves at the recreation center park. They were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and arrested for possession of a firearm by a minor.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” exposes his child to politeness.

Officers said a 26-year-old man had a loaded gun in his vehicle for which he had a license. His “young child,” as police described them, allegedly grabbed the gun which then discharged on accident, striking the man in the upper body.

The story goes on to say that said “responsible gun owner” will be charged with “endangering the welfare of a child.”

Self-politeness is the politest kind.

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.

And, again, politeness becomes child’s play.
