“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Hoist a drink to politeness.

A man died Friday evening after being accidentally shot in the leg by a handgun that was passed around over drinks, police say.

The report goes on to say that “the gun went off,” implying that it fired itself all on its ownsome.

Speaking all on my ownsome, I’ve not yet met a gun that pulled its own damn trigger.

“Negligent” =/ “Accidental.”

Aside:

It would be quite refreshing were news media to stop treating gun nut negligence as some aspect of inadvertence.

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!).
