Glock-a-bye baby . . . .

Gun nuts’ worship of their leaden Baals puts Little League games in the sights.

With competing gun-related rallies scheduled Saturday at Williamson Park in Morrisville, used by the town’s Little League, league officials, at the urging of state police, are moving, rescheduling, or canceling more than 20 games to avoid any potential conflict that might erupt over the emotional issue.

The matter is of particular urgency, since supporters of gun rights say they plan to legally carry guns as part of their rally.

One wonders why they don’t indulge in more normal and harmless fetishes, such as foot-worship or cross-dressing.

Deborah King wonders about the toll that politeness takes on the young:

I have a question for those millions who are enamored with “the right to bear arms”: did our founding fathers envision a militia of 2-year-olds, 4-year-olds, 6-year-olds? Why are you giving these children access to guns?

Home alone in a time of politeness:

Homicide detectives in Broward County, Florida are talking with a 13-year-old boy who they believe shot his 6-year-old sister.

According to NBC Miami, the shooting occurred just before 7 p.m. in Oakland Park on Saturday night.

“They were playing hide and go seek. I don’t know how it went down but he shot his sister,” neighbor Peter Milano explained.

Politeness continues apace.

I think that gunnuttery should be considered for the DSM.

Pro Publica has an interesting article on the new nullification movement.

You may have heard of the old nullification movement. It was created by the same persons who brought you secession and Civil War.

This one’s all about the right of gun nuts to worship their graven image in the Church of the Holy Heat.

Addendum:

Speaking of secession and Civil War . . . .

Be polite to your neighbors.

Two residents, ages 71 and 67, reported that an intoxicated man threatened to shoot up their house on the 200 block of Bondale Avenue.

Suddenly, there was a spray of gunfire, they said.

The suspect, 46, of Pontiac allegedly went to his van and returned with an AK-47-style assault rifle. The residents said he then released a salvo at them.

Party politely.

Police said a 51-year-old man was going into the club when he got into an argument with an employee outside the night spot. The two men apparently knew each other and had a previous dispute.

During the confrontation, the employee pulled a gun and opened fire, wounding the other man.

If both of them had gotten the drop on each other, certainly no one would have been hurt.

Will Bunch has a question:

Still, how many people know there’ve been not one but two gun slayings of five people — the other took place near Seattle — just since Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested in Watertown last Friday? Neither was more than a pebble in the great sea of televised news. Why?

Be polite on the way to the practice range.

A female passenger in an SUV was shot in the jaw Sunday when a gun inside the vehicle discharged accidentally. According to Miami’s Channel 10 News, the woman was part of a group of people on their way to a shooting range.

Afterthought:

Honest to Pete, back when I took an NRA gun safety class in high school, in the olden days when the NRA was a hunter’s organization, before it became a lobbying group, lesson one was never transport a loaded gun.

Lesson two was unload guns before transporting them.

These people are nuts.

For all their worship of their rifled idols, they persist in treating them as toys, playing with them as if they were Barbie dolls of blued steel.

The Pennsylvania Gun Club assembles to profess their love of their lord. (Apparently, Jesus was all about instruments of death.)

Kay Hartman, a Mifflin County “tea-party patriot old enough to be wise,” carried a large white flag featuring a black AK-47 over the words “Come and Take It.”

Another woman held a sign: “Gun Control is False Hope; Jesus Christ is the True Hope.”

And thus we go from gun nut viagra to gun nut sacrament.

All together now:

Lift high the royal re-peat-ing gun and crown it Lord of all.

Be polite in the drive-through:
