According to Campbell, the family reported hearing a loud pop. After finding the child, the family immediately called 911 and headed to Rusk. Unfortunately, by the time they reached paramedics the child was deceased.

Thus passes another day in the NRA’s Garden of Eden.

Where like minds gather . . . .

A polite society is a clean society.

Don’t toy with politeness.

The stupid. It burns.

Politeness takes practice:

A 14-year-old Weber County boy was killed Sunday afternoon in what authorities believe was an accidental shooting in Rich County. The teenager was a passenger in a white Chevy truck, driven by his father, when he was struck in the head by a stray bullet.

Rich County Sheriff Dale Stacey said the bullet was fired at a target several hundred feet from the truck. The shooter involved as well as witnesses stated that they did not know there was a road down range, and could not see the vehicle due to thick brush and trees.

Yes, indeed, it is the mark of “responsible gun owners” that they shoot at the knowable unknown.

One more time . . . politeness is child’s play.

. . . and a polite society is a clean society.

Be polite to your romantic partners.

First responders arrived to find the man applying pressure to a wound on the right side of his 21-year-old girlfriend of four months. She told police they had just returned to his apartment after getting dinner when she heard a gunshot and (she–ed.) fell to the ground.

The man gave a brief statement at the scene, saying that the couple had just gotten back to his apartment from dinner. He always has a pistol with him, and he thought he cleared the rounds from it when they returned. He said he didn’t realize it was loaded when it went off, and the bullet hit his girlfriend.

He didn’t know the gun was loaded (sigh).

Well-oiled politeness.

As they drove on Polk Street, with the woman sitting in the front passenger’s seat and Beltran sitting in the back, directly behind Sosa, Beltran allegedly removed his gun from his waistband because it was uncomfortable.

Beltran allegedly began waiving around the gun to the tune of music playing in the car. The woman in the front saw Beltran waiving the gun and told him to put it away, prosecutors said.

Suddenly, the gun went off and at least one bullet struck Sosa in the torso.

According to the story, this happened after a day of drinking. The victim died and, in a somewhat unusual development, charges have been preferred.

Those responsible gun owners–they’re always responsible until they’re not.

Be polite at the pizzeria popular for preteen parties.

Tacoma police say that a 22-year-old man accidentally shot himself in the leg Sunday evening while inside a Chuck E. Cheese in Tacoma.

The hunt for politeness goes on.

Six people were hunting deer in the mountains near Cuyama, which border the southwestern part of the Carrizo Plain, Capt. Todd Tognazzini with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said.

One of the hunters saw movement in the brush and fired with a “high-powered rifle,” but instead of hitting a deer, he hit another man in the party in the shoulder, Tognazzini said.

No doubt it was the antlers.

Guns and stupid, guns and stupid,
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you, Brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

Children should learn to play politely.

The mother told police she had a handgun in her closet when she walked outside to do something in her yard. She then heard a gunshot and walked back inside to find her son had shot himself in his hand.

The man was shot in the upper body by his brother, 50, while they were hunting at the Brushy Creek State Recreation Area. Officials believe the shooting was an accident.

Because he looked so much like a tree-dwelling rodent, no doubt . . . .

Practice random acts of politeness.

. . . and a polite society is a clean society.

Randell said the two argued when he told Jakari to “clean-up his room” after he found “dirty cereal bowls and other food items” in it.
