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.

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 . . . .

Merchants of Death 0

At the Portland Press-Herald, Fred Egan makes a persuasive case that our domestic bullet-based bloodbath is bankrolled by the Benjamins. A snippet:

Last year, more than 42,000 people died from gun-related incidents, and twice as many were injured. Mass shootings reached a multiyear high, with school shootings now the highest on record. In 2020, guns became the No. 1 cause of death for Americans under the age of 19. The 400 million guns in circulation have not made us safer.

(snip)

Why isn’t common sense being applied to gun laws in this country? Follow the money. The sale and lucrative aftermarket of 400 million guns carries a lot of influence into the pockets of many of those responsible for our gun laws.

Mike and Farron follow the money.

Aside:

I’m so old that I can remember when the NRA was primarily a proponent of gun safety for hunters, not a marketeer for merchants of death.

Indeed, when I was a teen, I attended one of their gun safety classes. That’s one reason what I know that guns are not toys. (The other reason is that we had guns in the house and, natch, my Daddy taught me well.)

You do not play with a gun and you never point one–loaded or unloaded–at any creature unless you intend to do harm–something of which our current generation of gun nuts seems unaware.
