Once again, politeness become child’s play.

A 5-year-old girl is clinging to life after police in Washington D.C. say her 3-year-old brother grabbed an unsecured gun from inside the family’s home and shot her while playing with it.

So many guns. So much stupid.

Words fail me.

An initial investigation showed that the victim showed up at the home with a semi-automatic handgun.

He and three other minors were passing the gun around to take photos and videos for social media when one of them pointed the gun and accidentally fired a shot, hitting the victim.

The stupid. It burns.

And we are again reminded that “social” media isn’t.

All the News that Fits 0

Newsman:  Our top story this hour--the man who allegedly shot an insurance company C. E. O. on the street in cold blood is in custody.  Newswoman:  It's certainly a top story, Biff.  Newsman:  That it is, Wanda.  And if we were so inclined, we could use this horrific incident as a springboard to example multiple, seemingly intractable problems facing contemporary American society.  After all, this is story when the casual prevalence of gun violence intersects with our completely broken health insurance system, all within the context of an increasingly dysfunctional socioeconomic structure which prioritizes billionaires and corporate profits over basic human necessities.  (Pause)  I'm kidding!  Obviously we're not talking about any of that!  Newswoman:  Ha!  You had me worried for a moment there.  Newsman:  Next--can we somehow blame this shooting on video games?  Newswoman:  We can certainly try.

Oh, my. It looks like another gun fired itself (emphasis added).

A man and his mother are recovering from injuries considered not life-threatening after a gun accidentally fired inside a residence Friday night.

Also, pigs, wings.

Guns don’t fire themselves.

Let me decode de code: “accidentally fired” translates to “someone accidentally negligently fired.”

The police and press, in wording their reports, need to stop letting “responsible gun owners” off the hook when said “responsible gun owners” (clearly seem to) have failed to exercise their gun ownership responsibly.

Furfu.

Another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner.”

Another unsecured gun.

Another child.

We are a society poisoning itself with lead. At Psychology Today Blogs, Tahir Rahman offers some thoughts as to possible antidotes.

Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” shows his politeness after a minor contretemps on the concrete.

The boy and his two siblings were on their way to school with their grandfather this morning when a minor traffic accident turned into a shooting.

“My papa made a turn and the man he was speeding… granddad hit his car… it was a small dent and the man just got out and started shooting,” Jackson said.

We are a broken society.

More brotherly politness:

According to the search warrant application, the victim’s 12-year-old brother partially pried opened a gun case secured by a gun lock and slid out a Sig Sauer P365 .380-caliber pistol.

The boy began playing with the gun when it accidentally discharged, striking his sister in the back, police said.

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.

Brotherly politeness . . . .

A 7-year-old boy fatally shot his 2-year-old brother after finding a gun in the glove box, according to authorities in California.

The shooting unfolded just before 4 p.m. Monday in the cab of a truck that was in a parking lot in Rancho Cucamonga, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said.

(snip)

The boys’ mom had just parked at a shopping center and was outside of the car, unloading items to bring inside, at the time of the shooting, Huerta told Los Angeles ABC station KABC.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” exposes a portable phallus to a child.

On Tuesday, Dec. 3, a 3-year-old child managed to get ahold of a firearm being kept in a home on Lawndale, according to the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office. The toddler then accidentally shot their 1-year-old sibling.

We are again reminded that “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” shows his politeness to his friend.

The victim took the magazine out of the gun and emptied it of rounds, but neither removed the bullet left in the chamber, according to the affidavit.

The man who shot the gun told police he was trying to “dry fire at a 45-degree angle away from the victim and was unsure how the victim (ended) up getting shot and stated it was accidental,” the affidavit states. The man who was shot told police his friend “pointed the firearm downward to show him the gun, when the gun was discharged.”
