Rear your children with politeness.

A 3-year-old boy suffered a gunshot wound to his head after police say the boy found a gun in the house and played with it while his parents were still in bed.

Amazingly, however, Murray police detective Kenny Bass said Thursday morning that the boy’s injury is not considered to be life-threatening . . . .

Join the queue for politeness.

Spokane Police Spokesperson John O’Brien said it was reported that around 3:30 p.m. a man was in line at the Supreme Bean on North Hamilton Street and East Illinois Avenue when he accidentally shot himself.

Of course, the NRA will probably say that, had he been packing, this wouldn’t have happene–oh, wait.

In the Great White North, the hunt for politeness continues.

The three men were out hunting when one of them got separated from the others. Police said one of the men shot at what he thought was a rabbit and injured the 20-year-old.

One wonders, was it his fluffy white tail or his long furry ears, or are the rabbits just bigger in Canada?

Cleanliness is next to politeness.

Police say that the victim was sitting in her vehicle clearing her weapon when it was discharged, striking her in the leg. Officers applied a tourniquet to her leg until EMS could get to the scene.

Lone Wolves at the Door 0

Werner Herzog’s Bear has a theory about the recent “gun rights” demonstration in Richmond, Virginia. He suggests that there is much more to it than the demonstrators’ affection for the mobile masculinity machines. Here’s a bit:

Today we see the militia members march in Richmond, and they claim that they did so without committing violence. Meanwhile, people affiliated with them commit atrocities like shootings in Charleston and Pittsburgh and they pretend they have nothing to do with the behavior of these “lone wolves.” It’s an old trick but it keeps working because our government and media are too lazy to press the issue.

oliteness is a family value.

A preliminary investigation by detectives found that a 36-year-old man with a concealed handgun on the small of his back was play-wrestling on a bed with his 4-year-old son.

Police said, while the two were playing, the gun fell from the father’s person and a shot was fired, striking both the father and the 4-year-old in the head.

Demonstrate politeness upon the nation’s highways.

As she got closer to the exit, an unknown driver swerved in front of her. She swerved out of the way and honked her horn at the suspect as she passed him, according to police.

The suspect then pulled in front of her and slammed on his brakes, police said. She temporarily lost control of her SUV, but was able to avoid having an accident, driving around the suspect.

But the suspect continued, pulling up next to the SUV and shooting at least three rounds into the driver’s side of the car, authorities said.

The woman’s 9-year-old daughter was shot once in her left side during the incident.

And thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

Practice random acts of politeness.

A suspected sniper has been taking shots at passing vehicles on a major highway in Eastern North Carolina, and it may have been going on for days, witnesses say.

Aside:

What’s with the “suspected sniper” phrasing?

Sniping is taking place, therefore there is a sniper.

Furrfu.
