“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

More polite play.

A 4-year-old girl is in critical condition after a shooting Friday night.

(snip)

Investigators said two or three young children were at the home, and they said the 4-year-old was playing with the gun.

Just another day in the Gun Nut Garden of Eden . . . .

Afterthought:

I recently was at an event where a concealed carrier advanced the argument that only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun and that, after all, “only umpty-ump children have died” and everything else was drug wars and mayhem and so on and so forth.

I did not want to get into it, so I refrained from asking, “How many times has a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun?”

Whatever the number of bad guys with guns stopped by good guys with guns may be, I am certain that it is far fewer than umpty-ump.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
