Disney Land installs metal detectors at entrances. Here’s a snippet from Mary Sanchez’s article:

Some see this as preparedness in the face of our new normal, but it’s really an abdication. Disneyland is locking itself up against the possibility of mass shootings because Americans are starting to accept that nothing else can be done.

This is the normalizing of fear. And it happens because politicians are unwilling to do anything to actually make us safer in the form of expanded background checks or limits on gun ownership.

Gun Nut Paradise progresses apace.

Southern Beale points out that the proof is in the packing.

Politeness takes practice.

While target shooting with a .22 caliber rifle at the indoor range, a 12-year-old boy dropped the weapon after a hot bullet casing burned him. When the rifle hit the ground, it fired. The bullet struck a man in the leg.

Politeness is a family affair.

The girl’s mother told officers she had brought home two .50-caliber muzzleloaded guns from a cabin.

Butler County sheriff’s investigator Randle Huddleston said the girl’s father thought they were unloaded.

He picked one of them up, and while handling the firearm, he inadvertently squeezed the trigger, and it went off.

She has politeness all over her shoulder, face, and chest.

Aside:

Methinks the writer inadvertently misplet “negligently.”

Don ye now ye polite apparel . . . .

A Comer man accidentally shot himself in the arm last week at his home, according to a Madison County Sheriff’s report.

The 71-year-old man told officers he went to get his .38-caliber pistol when the clothing he was wearing became entangled in the trigger and it discharged, Chief Deputy Shawn Burns said Monday.

There’s nothing like neighborly politeness.

(Sheriff’s investigator–ed.) Haislip says two men who live on Crepe Myrtle road near the town of Blue went down the road to their neighbors house and were confronted by three people.

A man at the house had a handgun on him, and Haislip said they then got into a fight over the gun.

“Somehow the gun was either dropped or taken away from someone and there was a fight over the gun and during the course of the fight the gun went off,” Haislip said.

A woman who lives at the home was shot in the hand, she had to be flown to the Medical Center of Plano and is expected to be okay.

Of course, if everyone, and not just one person, had been packing, NRA magic would have ensured that no one was injured.

There’s room for politeness.

Redman says the boy was inside a hotel room with 8 to 10 other teenagers ranging in age, from 13 to 19, with one 19-year-old. It’s unclear if the 19-year-old rented the room, or if it was another adult.

“It looks like at some point someone displayed the weapon and then accidentally discharged it,” said Redman.

If all of them had had guns, NRA magic would have ensured that this would not have happened.

You find politeness in unexpected places.

An older brother tells Channel 2’s Steve Gehlbach the 13-year-old brought the pistol home after finding it in the neighborhood somewhere.

He showed it to him, and neither thought the gun was real.

According to the brother, there was no magazine in it, but the teen was playing with it and accidentally fired one shot, hitting his mother in the neck.

Scattering more guns about would no doubt have prevented this.

Shots don’t mix well with beers.

(Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney–ed.) Farley said Kugelman was at Cap’n Ron’s Bar & Grill at 9300 Chesapeake Blvd. on Dec. 5 when the bartenders announced last call. She tried to ask one of them a question, but he couldn’t understand her because she was so drunk.

So, Farley said, Kugelman started choking a waitress, forcing others to break it up and separate the two.

A bouncer escorted her out of the bar, Farley continued. After kicking her out and as he turned around to walk back in, Kugelman shot him in the head, Farley said.

“All guns everywhere” is working out so very nicely, is it not?

Politeness takes practice.

Tom Smith, a family pastor who also helps with church security, was shot by his instructor during a gun safety class.

Modesto police said the two were acting out a scenario when a loaded gun the instructor was holding accidentally went off. The pastor was shot in the abdomen.

Be polite to your furry friends.

Police Chief Andrew Spencer resigned this week after it was revealed that he shot and killed an innocent dog that was in a cage and meant no one any harm. To make matters even worse, he took the puppy to a firing range and killed it there because he did not want to deal with finding its home.

Share the politeness with your family.

Henderson says the boy found a loaded Glock handgun in the apartment his father shares with a friend. He says Andrew Nagel was in another room and heard a gunshot. He ran to his son and found him with a gunshot wound.

The child did not survive.

Afterthought:

More guns, of course, would have prevented this from happening.

Frolic on Facebook fastidiously.

You couldn’t make this stuff up.
