“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Politeness begins at home.

According to the complaint, Smith (the child’s grandmother–ed.) was holding on to the gun for someone else. She kept the gun in a shoebox underneath a bed.

One of the children in the house later found the gun, according to the complaint. While they were playing with it, the gun accidentally went off and (four year old–ed.) Keyontist Moffett sustained a bullet wound to the forehead.

More guns would certainly have prevented this.

Afterthought:

I can read between the lines.

I may be overstepping here, but I suspect that, were the child’s name and therefore his heritage not be, as Steve Harvey would say, “cultural,” this would likely have been labeled “accidental.”

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
