Make the case for politeness.

Authorities tell news outlets that a family member had a weapon in a case. When the case fell to the ground, the firearm inside of it discharged and struck the child in the arm. The statement says the evidence is consistent with an accidental discharge.

The hunt for politeness goes on.

Deputies say they found the victim, George Sherman Van Cleave, next to a pickup in a driveway.

The sheriff’s office says another man, Richard Toubeaux, was securing a rifle in the pickup after the parties returned from a hunting trip.

The rifle discharged and hit Van Cleave.

“Securing.”

Words fail me.

Once again, politeness is child’s play.

Investigators say the boy was showing off his family’s gun collection to three girls inside the basement of a home on the 2000 block of Glendale Avenue Monday, shortly before 10:30 a.m. Monday. He then accidentally fired a gun he was holding and struck one of the girls in the face. Investigators say the boy didn’t realize the gun was loaded.

The child is being charged.

Thus passeth another day in the Garden of NRA Delights.

Party politely.

During the party, people decided to compare their tattoos. The owner of the gun opted to take his gun out of the holster so he could remove his pants to show a leg tattoo. He handed it to another male subject, who passed it off to a third male subject, who began to show it to the 20-year-old woman who was holding the infant at the time.

The man holding the gun accidentally discharged it, with a bullet going completely through the infant’s leg before striking the pelvis of the woman, according to police.

Politeness takes a break.

Marquez Grajeda was shot at close range on Feb. 4 at 12:45 p.m. at a home at 1347 W. 2320 South.

The 14-year-old told police that he pointed the gun toward the victim and pulled the trigger, but that the shooting was an accident.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

The initial investigation revealed that the two men were hunting together when one mistakenly identified the other as a deer.”

“He (the child) found a handgun that was unsecured there and he grabbed it, and before anyone knew what happened, heard a pop sound. And the mom was shot on her face area,” Abbott said.

Will Bunch is considers the continuing cascade of mass shootings. A nugget:

And here’s one more thing I don’t get. The way these shootings are all happening — the almost robotic similarity of these young and male and alienated and isolated killers, the recurring links to domestic violence or repressed sexuality and the large number of female victims, and the fact that these killings happen in everyday locales like a bank or a motel bar — scream out one word to me.

Terrorism.

Police said the woman entered the bedroom to get a blanket when she claimed to have heard the sound of a firearm being racked. She accused the man of trying to intimidate her.
