“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
Oh, my. Someone else gets it!
Thomas L. Knapp writes at The (Aiken, SC) News:
The phrase “accidental shooting” is usually a contradiction in terms. There are, in the normal course of events, only two kinds of shootings: Intentional and negligent.
An intentional shooting occurs when a competent individual intentionally loads, points, and fires a properly functioning firearm.
A negligent shooting occurs when a competent individual fails to do his or her job.

Aside:
As my two or three regular readers know, I agree with his reasoning. Police and press should stop routinely referring to shootings as “accidental.”
The other question, though, which Knapp does not address, is why so many whom Knapp would likely characterize as “incompetent” are able to caress portable phalluses so passionately.
