Yet another one of those responsible gun owners we keep hearing about . . . .

Deputies say the owner had no idea who would’ve shot her pony. She told them she had no problems with anyone and didn’t think she had upset anyone recently.

The sheriff thinks a stray bullet or accident may have lead to the pony’s death. There have been no known similar incidents in recent weeks and deputies believe this to be an isolated case.

Badtux, in two sentences, exposes the con behind gun fetishists’ primary talking point.

“Guns don’t kill, people do!” is the NRA talking point. But the numbers are clear: People with guns kill a lot more people than people without guns.

There are more sentences at the link.

Afterthought:

I use the word “fetishist” advisedly. What better describes one who is enamored of a portable penis of death?

Another educational day in NRA Paradise . . . . .

A former student opened fire at a Florida high school Wednesday, killing “numerous” people, sending students running out into the streets and SWAT team members swarming in before authorities took him into custody about a mile away.

CNN is reporting at least 17 people are dead, citing law enforcement officials.

Politeness takes practice.

According to the sheriff’s office, the victim and two other people, a man and a woman, had unloaded their guns and were “practicing their draw.” One person reloaded a gun and it went off, striking the victim, according to the sheriff’s office.

Politeness must be practiced, not just preached.

A man was injured Thursday morning after he accidentally shot himself while participating in a concealed-carry class at C.I. Shooting Sports in Normal.

“It was an accidental discharge,” said C.I. Shooting Sports owner Stephen Stewart. “He was participating in a conceal-carry course and by state law, you are required to draw the weapon out of a holster. He just got on the range, loaded it and it was an accident.”

As far as I am concerned, there is no such thing as an “accidental discharge” or a fireman. The two choices are “deliberate” or “negligent.”

Politeness takes practice.

Authorities say a man was taken to the hospital after suffering a self-inflicted wound at a Salem shooting range.

Salem police say they don’t know if Tuesday’s shooting was an accident or intentional. The owner of the shooting range told two Portland television stations it was an accident.

Politeness is child’s horse play.

Mt. Morris Township police Chief Terence Green said the victim was driven via a personally-owned vehicle to Hurley for treatment of a gunshot wound she sustained to her leg during the incident.

The 18-year-old and a 14-year-old male sibling “may have been horse playing with the gun when it went off,” said Green, according to witness accounts and a preliminary investigation by township police.

Had the 18-year-old had been packing, no doubt she could have returned fire, the causalities would have canceled each other out, and no one would have been injured.

Or something.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

Practice politeness doggedly.

“We heard gunshots at eight this morning. Usually Tucker’s (one of her pet dogs–ed.) the first one in the house and he didn’t come up. So I went out and looked and couldn’t find him,” Harrell said.

The worry set in and Harrell followed Tucker’s brother Jinx into the nearby woods. That is when she saw Tucker’s lifeless body laying on the ground.

“He has one in the leg and two in the stomach. One in the chest and one in the ear. All I could do is cry. I carried him back up here. Shot five times at close range,” Harrell said.

Share your politeness with your friends.

Deputies said a 22-year-old man was cleaning his 9 mm handgun and showing his 20-year-old girlfriend how to safely handle a weapon when the gun fired. He suffered a graze injury to his leg and she was struck in the thigh, calf and foot and treated at Bronson Battle Creek.

er, yeah.

Politeness is a family affair.

During the investigation it was determined that a family member had accidentally fired the handgun, officials say. They did not disclose whether that individual was male or female, or whether the person was an adult or child.

This is the second accidental shooting involving a child in Jackson County over the past several weeks. In the other incident, a youngster sat on a weapon and received a minor injury to the buttocks but is recovering fully.
