One suspects that “fondling” would be a more precise term.

Anyone can stumble over politeness.

Police southeast of Houston say a 4-year-old child has died after he found a handgun in the bedroom of a home and accidentally shot himself.

Washington State is currently considering a bill to regulate bump stocks, such as the one used in the Law Vegas shooting. The Seattle Times’s Danny Westneat is not sanguine about its chances of passage.

The issue of guns causes America to lose its faculties. Nowhere was that on more vigorous display than during a gun-control debate this past week in our state Legislature.

It was a 20-minute tour of the absurd rhetorical lengths to which the gun-rights crowd will go to try shooting down even the most modest attempts at slowing the country’s mass-shooting carnage.

Politeness is child’s play.

“The 13-year-old learned the combination of the gun safe, and took out a Marlin .22 rifle from the safe,” said Sheriff Nathan Dreckman.

The rifle was loaded and unloaded multiple times, but at one point the gun fired when the boys thought it was unloaded.

“Unfortunately, there was still one round in the chamber and the rifle discharged,” Dreckman said.

The 8-year-old boy was hit in the face below the left nostril.

. . . and another gun that fired itself.

Politeness is a family affair.

Rex William Pruett was shot at his father’s home in Campbellsburg, a small Indiana town located about 50 miles northwest of Louisville, Kentucky. Rex, a seventh-grader at Orleans Junior-Senior High School, died a short time after his father rushed him to a hospital.

Be polite to your friends.

Woodcock’s best friend, 21-year-old Richard Skillman, was at the party.

“From what I heard, they were best of friends,” Gomez said.

Woodcock and the other party-goers apparently had been drinking alcohol before he went back to his bedroom.

“He went into his bedroom, came back out, had a handgun, the handgun went off and struck Mr. Skillman in the chest,” Gomez said.

Be polite to your neighbors.

According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, the man said he was taking items from a dresser drawer where he keeps his loaded 9mm handgun when it accidentally fell to the floor. When he picked up the gun to inspect it for damage, he discharged it. The bullet went through several walls in his home and then hit the front door of the home across the street. No one was inside the neighbor’s home at the time, but they were notified of the incident by the sheriff’s office.

Police say a male was handling a long gun when it fired and struck Ijong.

My opinion is that males should not play with their portable penises–or, for that matter, any other penises–in the presence of others.

Furrfu.

Afterthought:

Notice how a man becomes a “male” and a child becomes a “juvenile” and a woman becomes a “female” in police-speak?

Commit random acts of politeness.

The Utah County Sheriff said in a statement that the incident occurred after a 17-year-old picked up a rifle from a bed. The rifle reportedly had a round jammed in the chamber, which dislodged and fired when the firearm was picked up.

Whatever happened to “Make sure never to point a gun at anyone”?

Be polite to your fellow employees.

Police said two employees at Reliable Fence got into an altercation and one of the men pulled a gun. Authorities said the argument between the employees has been an ongoing dispute.

“After the initial person got shot, the other employees ran over and were trying to wrestle the gun from the shooter,” Clinton Township police Capt. Richard Maierle. “The gun then went off and shot the business owner.”

A man was shooting a handgun at the range, and when he attempted to clear the weapon, the gun discharged, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

That agency, in a post to Twitter, called the discharge a “malfunction” and said the shooter was hospitalized in “good condition.”

Afterthought:

Situations such as these could be avoided if one ensures that one’s portable penis is not pointing at anyone while one is caressing it.

The hunt for politeness never ends. Nor, it seems, does the hunt for stupid.

A DGIF (Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries–ed.) official said a deer ran between two hunters, and when one of them tried to shoot it, he accidentally shot another hunter twice in the left arm.

Answering the call of politeness:

“Yes,” the teen replied.

“Where are your parents?” the dispatcher asked.

“Work,” the teen replied.
