. . . but it clearly is.

Play politely.

Cory Newville, 20, suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound while with friends, Kent County Undersheriff Michelle LaJoye-Young said. An investigation shows that the group was drinking, she added.

The Kent County Sheriff’s Department says Newville recently got a handgun and was playing with it. Lee Newville, Cory’s brother, confirms to WZZM that Cory recently bought the gun and was showing it to friends when the accidental shooting happened.

And, elsewhere on the politeness front . . . .

Be polite to your furry friends.

A family is devastated after their dogs were found shot and killed after they ran away from home near the Albany-Schoharie County line.

The Albany County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Environmental Conservation are investigating after two pets were found shot to death. . . .

The shooting does not appear to be an accident.

(Remember that, in the country, folks do not keep their pets all cooped up like city folk do.)

Alex Steed meditates on life in a land of ammosexuals (emphasis added).

Because when it comes to the NRA’s posturing versus my everyday experience, they have lost the narrative. Because when I drop my daughter off at school, I sometimes look at her and realize it is a very real possibility she could get gunned down. I squeeze her extra hard before letting her go.

I very literally am scared of the possibility that my child could be killed by an NRA-coddled homegrown terrorist.

Do you have a similar fear? Welcome to the NRA’s America. The America in which the satirical Onion headline “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens” feels more real than the actual news.

Show politeness at the politeness show.

A spokesperson for Phoenix Fire Department says a 22-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound in his abdomen after what appeared to be an accidental shooting at the Arizona State Fairgrounds near 17th Avenue and McDowell Road. The incident occurred at the Crossroads of the West gun show at about 11:30am.

Concealed carry is living up to its hype and spreading politeness throughout the land, isn’t it?

Mr. Dickey has had a change of heart and says, “Sorry, my bad.“

Classy cars, classy politeness:

Have a close shave with politeness.

A 36-year-old man was showing his gun to someone in Benny’s Barber Shop when he accidentally fired it. The bullet pierced the wall, went into Saylor’s Pizza which is next door, and struck a 15-year-old in the ankle.

Honestly, these bozos need to stop acting as if they are lugging around Mattel Fanner 50s.

There appears to have been an outbreak of politeness in Cali.

Pick a qualified teacher for your lesson in politeness.

A friend was showing a 35-year-old Conestoga man how to clean a handgun at a Columbia-area shooting range when it fired, critically injuring the man Thanksgiving Day, police said.

“A friend was attempting to show the victim the proper use of and how to break down and clean a handgun when it accidentally discharged,” the sergeant said. “The friend felt (!–ed.) the gun was clear and free of any bullets.”

“Sadly, this is how many accidental shootings take place, when they feel the gun is empty and attempt to clean it,” Geier said.

The hunt for politeness continues apace.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says the accident happened about 3 p.m. Saturday while 11 family members were hunting deer on 50 acres of woods and fields behind a home in Hudson.

A 34-year-old Wolcottville man was shot below the right cheekbone when two hunters who were standing next to each other fired several times at three deer that were running toward the middle of the field. He was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in serious but stable condition Sunday.

Politeness is relative.

An 11-year-old boy was in serious condition Sunday evening after what appears to be an accidental shooting by a teenage relative earlier that afternoon.

Deputies responded to the 12400 block of Admiralty Way at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday. They were told an unknown suspect had shot the boy and fled. A K-9 unit was sent out to help deputies track the shooter. “In the process of conducting their search, they determined that it was the older sibling who had been involved, not an unknown subject,” Lt. David Bowman said.

Politeness is an essential aspect of rearing the young.

A 5-year-old boy is expected to recover after shooting himself in the leg Thursday night with a handgun he found in an apartment he is living in with his mother and her boyfriend.

Don’t waffle on politeness.

An enraged Waffle House customer shot and killed a waitress early Friday who asked him not to smoke.
