And,as we learn time and time again, a polite society is a clean society.

According to police, the man was in a bedroom of an apartment and was cleaning his gun when it accidentally went off.

Police said the single bullet went through his arm and hit his girlfriend in the abdomen while sitting in a chair nearby. A teenage girl was in another room but was not hurt, police said.

At The Colorado Sun, Mike Littwin reacts to the latest spate of mass shootings in the United States. A nugget:

But we cannot claim surprise. We used to ask if this is really who we are. No one asks that anymore.

Once again, a child is polite to another child.

The NRA will likely argue that, had the other child been packin–oh, never mind.

Show politeness on our nation’s highways.

Expose your child to politeness.

Show politeness to your children.

One more time, “accidental” is not a synonym for “negligent” (unless, it seems, there is a firearm involved).

(Spelink error correx. I’m still getting used to the keyboard on my new laptop, as it’s slightly smaller than that of my old laptop.)

Politeness is a family value.

Position your politeness precisely.

Steffer and another person were outside checking on animals after hearing coyotes, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office. The other person had a rifle, repositioned it and it went off.

Politeness takes practice.

“I heard gunshots, which is normal, and then all of a sudden I hear one shot that I heard the whizzing of the bullet right by my head,” Avery told the TV station.

Unnerved, the boy decided to pack up and go home. But just as he was leaving, more shots were fired and he dropped for cover on the ground.

He wasn’t injured.

Game wardens later found the shooter, who was firing at a steel target just off the ground without a recommended backstop and few trees between the target and where Redding was fishing, according to WCSH.

“Anybody can be a gun owner but be a responsible gun owner and do your homework before you go out shooting,” his father, Matt, who is president of the Maine Youth Fish & Game Association, told the TV station.

One more time, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

We are a society of stupid.

Show politeness to your family.

Officers found the man, 40, of Staten Island, New York, lying on the floor upon arrival. Police said he was visiting an uncle, 72, of Fair Lawn.

When his uncle handed the victim a handgun to look at, it went off, striking the victim, police said.

. . . and another gun apparently goes off on its ownsome.

Party politely.

Politeness takes practice.

He spoke the truth (though I doubt this ammosexual was aware of how much truth he spoke).

The New Jersey Attorney-General wants to look behind the lead curtain.

And, as we know, a polite society is a clean society.

Practice politeness at your friendly local retail emporium.

A male reportedly shot himself by accident and was last seen running out of the store accompanied by a female. . . .

Through reviewing the video surveillance, according to police, it was determined that the shooting was clearly accidental. The male appeared to have the gun in his hand, inside his jacket pocket, when it suddenly went off and injured his leg.

Yet more neighborly politeness . . . .

Authorities said an elderly man accidentally fired a gun inside his apartment at St. Anthony Place and the bullet traveled through the wall and entered the adjacent apartment, narrowly missing the two elderly individuals who live there.

One more time, “accidentally” and “negligently” are not synonyms.
