Another day in NRA Paradise:

Georta Mack, 14, was skipping school and snuck back in his home in the 1200 block of Blanchard Avenue through the basement when his dad shot him at about 6:30 a.m., Cincinnati Police Sgt. Joe Briede said.

“I just shot my son by accident,” Mack’s father told a 911 operator. “He scared me. I thought he was in school. I heard noise and then I went downstairs looking. He jumped out at me. I shot him.”

He’ll never skip school again.

Just read it.

I have nothing to add.

Addendum:

Denouement.

Politeness is essential to proper parenting.

The 18-year-old was standing next to his father in a north Forsyth house about 5 p.m. Saturday as the 42-year-old cleaned the Smith & Wesson .40 pistol, according to Epifanio Rodriguez, a spokesman with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.

His father accidentally shot the firearm, wounding the young man in his abdomen.

A Picture Is Worth, Bundy Bund Dept. 0

Ammon Bundy and friends:  We liberate this land for the people of the USA.  Well, actually, for the ranchers.  And for the big mining companies.  And don't forget the frackers.  And the developers.  And the foreign investors . . . . .

Commentary at the link. Here’s a bit:

The Bundy boys and their confederates claim God is telling them what to do, but the voices they hear are coming from right-wing talk radio and from a variety of extremists with curious interpretations of the U.S. Constitution.

More spontaneous politeness . . .

Authorities say a 4-year-old girl has been wounded in an accidental shooting inside a suburban Buffalo home.

Police say the shooting occurred Sunday afternoon at a home in the Erie County town of Orchard Park, just south of Buffalo.

Officials say firearm accidentally discharged and a bullet struck the girl.

. . . and another rogue gun that mysteriously fired itself.

Just another day in Gun Nut Paradise.
