She had politeness in the bag.

Once on scene, first responders found a female employee who said she was going through her bag in the bathroom when her firearm accidentally discharged.

The employee was shot in the leg. She is in stable condition.

Aside:

No, the firearm did not “accidentally discharge.” Guns don’t fire themselves.

She negligently discharged the firearm.

Furrfu.

Police say the gunfire started from a road rage incident that happened nearby, ending with a person shooting at the car that the child was in before they left the scene.

The 4-year-old reportedly sustained “a non-life-threatening gunshot wound” and was taken to a nearby hospital.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

I was taught that a “responsible gun owner” makes sure that a firearm is not pointing at a living being while it’s being “manipulated” (or, for that matter, at any other time unless harm is intended).

An investigation determined that the boy’s father “was manipulating a handgun in the living room of his residence,” (Sergeant Jason–ed.) Wall said in a news release. “His 7-year-old son was in the room as well when the firearm discharged, a round striking him in the area of his armpit.”

Also, one wonders what precisely “manipulating” means in this context. One suspects that it is “fondling” dressed up in Sunday go-to-meeting clothes.

We are a society of stupid.

A “responsible gun owner” decides that politeness is for the birds.

A bald eagle was found dead in Missouri, officials said. Now, the state’s Department of Conservation is searching for its killer.

The bald eagle had a gunshot wound from a rifle when it was discovered south of Salem, Missouri, on Jan. 18, officials said.

Yet more random acts of politeness.

. . . and another child is added to Wayne LaPierre’s legacy.

Wayne LaPierre grew up in Roanoke, Va.

Roanoke Times columnist Dan Casey reflects on his legacy.

The hunt for politeness continues.

When I was a young ‘un, we used to set up tin cans on a log in the back yard to perfect our marksmanship. Except during hunting season, because there might be hunters in the woods beyond the field, and a .22 can carry for a mile.

We also didn’t go walking in the woods during hunting season, because there might be hunters in the woods . . . .

Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” is polite to himself.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Be polite to your fellow motorists.

Man shoots hoops while toting his portable phallus. Portable phallus shoots hoopster.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid,
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you, brother,
You won’t find one without the other.

Another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” who didn’t know his responsibility was loaded–and was too stupid to check.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

The hunt for politeness continues.

What goes up must come down.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Yet another “responsible gun owner” exposes a child to politeness.

We are a society of stupid.

If you doubt that, here’s Daniel Ruth with more evidence.

Yet another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner” plays with his portable phallus,
