“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society,” People of Walmart Dept. 0

Bargain-basement politeness.

A gunman described as a disgruntled Walmart employee has fatally shot two co-workers and wounded a police officer before he was shot and arrested at a Walmart store in northern Mississippi.

(snip)

Abram, a Southaven resident, had been suspended from the store in recent days after he showed a knife to a co-worker. A police report had been filed, but Champion said Abram didn’t appear to have threatened the co-worker and criminal charges weren’t being pursued.

Thus passeth another day in NRA paradise.

Distant politeness . . . .

Three members of a Northern Kentucky family found themselves just inches away from being hit with a bullet on their farm.

The family was next to the lake on their property in southern Kenton County when the shot came whizzing by Thursday evening. They’re thankful no one was hurt, but now they’re left wondering if it was an accident or if someone was aiming for them.

I’m betting is was just one of those responsible gun owners being responsible.
