“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

Inculcate politeness at a young age.

Dubuque police said a 2-year-old shot in the face earlier this month was wounded when either he or another child accidentally fired a gun.

“We have no information that an adult was responsible for the shooting and believe either the victim accidentally shot himself or one of the other children did,” Engleman wrote.

One is left to wonder whether it a was a minor who left the firearm where it could have been found by a toddler, as no “adult was responsible,” or perhaps, in addition to firing themselves, guns now are capable of leaving themselves in places.

More likely, it’s that “responsible gun owner” is now an oxymoron.

Finally, this is website is a hobby.
