Practice politeness.

iPolite:

According to police, 20-year-old Byron Devore was holding a handgun while face timing on his cell phone when the gun discharged hitting 17-year-old Gerald Levy in the head.

Levy was taken to a local hospital where he later died.

Investigators have ruled the shooting accidental.

He has been charged with negligent homicide. How come do you think this wasn’t just dismissed as yet another tragic accident? (Answer at the link.)

Be polite to your family . . .

According to investigators, a 16-year-old boy allegedly shot his relative in the head by accident while playing with a gun. Police have not yet determined where the gun came from.

. . . and to yourself.

Jesus said, “Suffer the children.”

Gun nuts said, “Make it so.”

Addendum:

More information has become available.

Investigators say the boy found a handgun that was kept in the home and accidentally shot himself in the upper shoulder. The boy’s mother and a 2-year-old child were home when the incident occurred.

As the twig is bent shot . . . .

A 5-year-old boy was accidentally shot and killed on Tuesday evening. It happened at 71st and Canton, near Trinity Christian High School.

“Unfortunately, a child did die after being transported to Covenant Women’s and Children’s, from a gunshot wound,” Sgt. Jason Lewis with the Lubbock Police Department, says. “It appears to be accidental.”

No doubt, had the boy had a gun, this would not have happened. Isn’t that how things work in NRA Paradise?

Show politeness to your friends.

Jaytion Mays, 18, is recovering from a gunshot wound. Police say Mays fired the shot. His friend provided the gun.

Be polite in your neighborhood mercantile center.

Based on emergency dispatch reports, an individual visiting Edward’s Jewelers in Clanton accidentally shot themselves in the leg.

The individual was visiting the business, and was in the back of the store away from customers when the gun went off.

Afterthought:

For Christ’s sake, bring back copy editors.

Cleanliness is next to politeness.

(snip)

About a week earlier, a Spring Lake resident was talking with a younger relative about firearms when his gun went off. He thought the gun’s chamber had been emptied when he picked it up to clean it and the device accidentally fired, police said.

And more guns that fire themselves . . . .

The stupid. It burns.

Now, about those intelligence tests for buying guns . . . .

More guns no doubt would have prevented this.

The teen was shot in the back of the head while playing Xbox with his cousins, according to an incident report released Tuesday.

One of the cousins was holding the gun and riding a hoverboard when he slipped, causing the gun to accidentally fire, according to an Orange County Sheriff’s Office report.

Once again, a polite society is a clean society.

How stupid do you have to be to clean a gun without checking that it’s loaded?

Pretty damn stupid, and there’s a lot of that going around.

Politeness is the glue that cements familial relationships.

Guns and grog–always a good mix.

Be polite at the parking lot.

A witness said the man shot himself in the leg while trying to hide his handgun.

This guns everywhere thing is working out so very nicely, is it not?

Daniel Ruth has qualms about Florida’s rush to become an armed encampment. Among other worries, he suspects that a bunch of pistol-packing yahoos roaming the 7-11s of the Gunshine State might have a deleterious effect on Florida’s tourism industry.

He suggests an alternative for those wishing to indulge their ammosexual urges:

In reaction to Tallahassee’s tireless efforts to turn the state into an armed camp rivaling the baptism scene in The Godfather, I would offer an alternative piece of legislation. Instead of allowing people with concealed weapons permits to openly prance about with their little friends in full view, I would offer a far better idea.

Free Viagra for all. Problem solved.</blockquote>
