Jim Wright delivers another gem of a post, this one on ammosexuals. A nugget:

Listen to me, if one Muslim extremist is the face of all of Islam, then Ted Nugent is the face of the NRA. Quod erat demonstrandum. Period and you can’t have it both ways.

Read it. Read it all the way through.

No-fault politeness.

Richmond police said the death of a 4-year-old girl — fatally wounded Friday evening in her home by a pellet gun fired by another youngster — was an accident and no charges will be filed.

“After extensive interviews and in consultation with the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, detectives have determined this incident to be a tragic accident,” police spokesman Gene Lepley said Saturday of the death of Geonna Bradley.

Practice makes politeness.

Roanoke police say a man apparently was shot while at a Northeast Roanoke gun range this morning.

(snip)

Witnesses who were in other lanes of the range at the time told officers that they looked over to see the man injured, Lee said. Police are working to determine how the man came to be shot.

Addendum, the Next Day:

The police have concluded that this was intentional self-politeness.

The polite want you to drive drive defensively.

Or else.

A Michigan man and his wife had just eaten lunch Tuesday afternoon and were on their way to pick up their children from the first day of school when they were cut off by a speeding pickup truck.

Police said 43-year-old Derek Flemming got out of his SUV at the next stoplight, approached the Dodge pickup, and asked the driver: “What’s your problem?”

The other driver then rolled down his window and shot Flemming in the face, killing him, police said.

In the Roanoke Times, Megan Doney highlights the hypocrisy of the Armament Advertising Agency NRA. A nugget:

Many gun enthusiasts resort to trite slogans in order to further their cause of destruction. The Virginia Citizens’ Defense League handed out stickers at the Steppin’ Out street fair in Blacksburg that read “Guns Save Lives.” Guns did not save my life when I was at work at New River Community College on April 12, 2013; the student who opened fire at my school was subdued by an unarmed security officer. Guns obviously did not save Charles Vacca’s life. In case we need any more evidence of the National Rifle Association’s utter callousness and horrifying lack of empathy, the women’s Twitter feed of the NRA posted an article called “7 Ways Children Can Have Fun at the Gun Range” a mere two days after Vacca’s death.

School yourself with politeness.

An instructor was wounded in the foot after his concealed handgun discharged in a classroom at the Physical Science Complex on the Idaho State University campus at about 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Intelligence is not a job requirement for a teacher at ISU.

Don’t drive defensively. Drive politely.

Police in Genoa Township are investigating a Tuesday afternoon road rage incident which ended in a deadly shooting at East Grand River Avenue and Chilson Road, about one mile east of downtown Howell.

One person was killed and another is in police custody. Police say a 43-year-old driver got out of his vehicle and approached the driver of a pickup truck, who is accused of shooting and killing the 43-year-old man.

Be polite to your friends.

According to Angelina County Sheriff Greg Sanches, 45 year-old Monica Gunter was shot in the right leg by her friend who was attempting to load a shotgun.

There is no excuse for this.

If you cannot load a gun safely, you are too stupid to touch a gun. Full stop. End of story.

Be polite; help someone out in a jam.

Two friends were injured Sunday afternoon at Shoot Straight, a Casselberry gun range, when one tried to unjam a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun and wound up shooting himself in the finger and his friend in the thigh, police reported.

Leonard Pitts, Jr., mulls the continuing American bloodbath. A nugget:

. . . where gun laws are concerned, the United States of America is – individual dissenting voices duly noted and exempted from the following descriptive – dumber than a bag of bullets. This, after all, is the country where you can take a gun into a bar. Where you can erect a shooting range in your own backyard. Where a blind person can get a gun permit. You think it’s insane that Arizona allows a 9-year-old to shoot at a firing range? ABC News reports that one in Texas allows them to do so at age 6. . . .

God bless America. We legislate against sharia law in places where there are no Muslims, much less an inclination toward sharia. We pass laws to curtail election fraud despite the fact that election fraud, as a practical matter, does not exist. Yet we endure a yearly toll of gun carnage that makes civilized people in civilized places shake their heads in wonder and our only action is inaction.

The polite want just a little help from their friends.

According to Sheriff Willis Blackwell, the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call of an accidental shooting at a residence on County Road 1024.

Deputies say 25-year-old Bret Anderson and 21-year-old Taylor Keele were handling a 9 mm pistol when Anderson unintentionally fired the weapon. It struck Keele in the chest.

The polite never know that the gun is loaded.

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office says 53-year-old David Mitchell of Berthoud was sitting in traffic on U.S. Highway 287 in Lafayette on Thursday evening when he decided to inspect it one last time. He didn’t realize there was still one more round in the chamber and shot himself in the leg.

Guns and stupid, a match made in, well, somewhere.

Historiann wonders where the judgment went.

Just read it.

The polite value their privacy.

A tuxedoed Seattle man was arrested early yesterday after he fired a gun at a couple who accidentally interrupted him while he was being pleasured by a woman in an alcove in the city’s nightlife district, cops report.

Politeness is all about how you shoot your load.

When officers and medics arrived at the home in the 45000 block of North Bend Way, they found the body of the shooter’s roommate. Almquist originally said the victim was the brother of the shooter, but later confirmed they were long-time friends and roommates.

Almquist says their investigation is still ongoing, but it appears to be an accident.

“He was showing his firearm to his (roommate) and he was checking to see if it was loaded and it went off,” Almquist said.

Teach the children well.

Police said a 9-year-old Arizona girl accidentally shot her shooting instructor in the head Monday morning at an outdoor range.

It is not polite to lie.

A man who tried to blame a St. Francis shooting on a “short Hispanic man” has been charged with obstructing police and with the shooting.

His false claim led police from several agencies to swarm an area of St. Francis last week looking for the supposedly armed suspect.

The real story was that Lloyd R. Robinson, 24, of St. Francis was playing with his handgun at an E. Tesch Ave. apartment Thursday when he accidentally shot his girlfriend, police say.
