“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Ring in the New Year politely (emphasis added).

The Peachtree City Police Department report their chief of police called 911 early Thursday morning to report that he had accidentally shot his wife. She is now listed in critical condition at the Atlanta Medical Center, where she was airlifted.

The circumstances behind the shooting remain unclear; all that is known is McCollom’s service weapon discharged, and a bullet struck his wife.

. . . and yet another gun that goes off all on its ownsome.

It would seem that the gun nut slogan, “Guns don’t kill people; people kill people,” is demonstrably false. According to news reports, guns seem to discharge without human intervention multiple damn times a day.

Finally, this is website is a hobby.
