Politeness is essential to proper parenting.

The 18-year-old was standing next to his father in a north Forsyth house about 5 p.m. Saturday as the 42-year-old cleaned the Smith & Wesson .40 pistol, according to Epifanio Rodriguez, a spokesman with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.

His father accidentally shot the firearm, wounding the young man in his abdomen.

More spontaneous politeness . . .

Authorities say a 4-year-old girl has been wounded in an accidental shooting inside a suburban Buffalo home.

Police say the shooting occurred Sunday afternoon at a home in the Erie County town of Orchard Park, just south of Buffalo.

Officials say firearm accidentally discharged and a bullet struck the girl.

. . . and another rogue gun that mysteriously fired itself.

Just another day in Gun Nut Paradise.

From the accompanying article:

We also know that states with the most guns (sic) laws see the fewest gun-related deaths. So it is in Delaware’s state parks, where common-sense restrictions on guns not used for hunting seem to have been a non-controversial way to balance the rights of hunters with maintaining the overall safety of park users.

Wilmington attorney Thomas Shellenberger, a spokesman for the Delaware State Sportsmen’s Association (one of the groups suing the state), admitted as much, telling the News Journal that no particular incident prompted the lawsuit.

So why sue? To push an twisted idea promoted by the National Rifle Association that our Constitution places no restrictions on an individual’s ability to possess a firearm, be it park, school or your mother’s dinner table.

Sadly, if these faux patriots would stop professing their undying love for the Founding Fathers and actually read the Constitution, they’d find there’s only one place it outright bans the government from regulating an individual’s rights – the First Amendment.

Just another day in Gun Nut Paradise:

Police say the boy was in a parked car with his 8-year-old brother when they found a loaded gun. The boys were handling the gun when it went off. . . .

Police say the boys were in the care of a family friend who works at the nearby Sparks Natural Gas station. James Howard, 63, was looking after the boys while their parents went to a medical appointment. Howard was working on a pump when the shooting happened.

E. J. Dionne skewers the hysterical rhetoric of the ammosexual lobby:

The apologists for the weapons industry – they pass themselves off as the gun rights movement – demonstrate their intellectual bankruptcy by regularly contradicting themselves with a straight face.

On the one hand, President Barack Obama’s modest initiatives to keep guns out of the wrong hands are denounced as an outlandish abuse of his executive powers. . . .

Yet there was the National Rifle Association itself making fun of Obama’s actions for being puny. “This is it, really?” said the NRA’s Jennifer Baker. “They’re not really doing anything.” The same NRA put up a frightening online video declaring that Obama is “our biggest threat to national security.”

These folks are willing to say anything–everything–so as to be able to continue fondling their ammosex toys.

Expose children to politeness at an early age.

Calvinyanna Sanders, 2, was airlifted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egelston in DeKalb County and is now recovering after surgery.

Police said another child shot the toddler in the torso around 4:30 p.m. Monday at the Wood Glen Apartments on North Cary Street in LaGrange.

No doubt, had both kids been packing, this would not have happened. At least, that is Gun Nut logic.

Ammosexual twits.

Seal your love with politeness.

Family members of Katelin Castile, 26, and Jermane Kennedy, 26, said their love ran deep. They were high school sweethearts who had three kids together.

However, on January 1, 2016 at 934 W. Washington Street Sandusky police said an accidental gun shot went off from Kennedy’s 9mm semi-automatic handgun. Castile was shot in the neck by her fiancé. She died at Firelands Hospital nearly two hours later.

(snip)

Police believe Kennedy was trying to show a friend his gun and the weapon discharged.

And another gun that fires itself.

When will someone get all these rogue guns that fire themselves off the streets and out of the hands of “responsible gun owners”?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Show politeness to your SOSO.

The woman called 911 and said she’d been standing in front of her apartment building on Edgehill Lane near Oceanside Boulevard when she was shot in the leg about 9:30 p.m., Oceanside police Lt. Taurino Valdovinos said. But investigating officers soon started to question her story, the lieutenant said.

They searched her apartment and found evidence that the shooting had taken place inside. The victim ultimately told officers that her boyfriend was showing her a gun when he accidentally shot her, Valdovinos said.

Guns and stupid–always a recipe for a successful relationship.

Southern Beale.

The hunt for politeness continues.

Suffolk police responded to the scene at 9:40 a.m. and found a man, whose exact age wasn’t being released, with “minor gunshot injuries,” Kelley said. He was treated and released from Sentara Obici Hospital.

A preliminary investigation found that another hunter who was trying to shoot a deer accidentally struck the man, Kelley said.

I find it highly unlikely the fellow was out hunting in a Bambi suit.

Celebrate politely.

A nine-year-old girl was shot in the arm just after midnight, possibly the result of celebratory gunfire, Orlando police said.

(snip)

Officers have no suspect information because the round “seemed to be from the voluminous amounts of gunfire” happening at the time.

The last roundup.

Demonstrate politeness.

A 29-year-old woman was fatally shot in the face by her 34-year-old brother last week, according to Rio Rancho police, who said it may have been an accident.

Chelsea Goupil of Rio Rancho was shot Dec. 23 with a small-caliber handgun, according to Lt. Matt Ross. The department has not released the name of Goupil’s brother because no charges have been filed against him.

(snip)

He said in an interview that the weapon fired while it was being “shown to someone.”

And yet another gun that mysteriously goes off all on its ownsome.

And, in more news of the polite . . . .

Protect your family with politeness.

During the investigation, police learned the homeowner was sleeping in her bed when she thought an intruder entered the house and was quickly approaching her.

The woman then fired one round at the subject, who was later identified as the homeowner’s daughter.

The story (follow the link) refers to this as an “accidental shooting.” The woman picked up the gun, pointed it, and pulled the trigger. Nothing “accidental” in that.

Of course, had the daughter had a gun, this no doubt would not have happened. At least, that’s Gun Nut reasoning.

Thus passes another day in Gun Nut Paradise.
