Politeness starts young.

Friday afternoon, police responded to a shooting in Natchitoches, and found a three year old with a single gunshot wound to his head.

The child was taken to a hospital, but he eventually died from his injuries.

Police believe the child somehow got ahold of the firearm, and accidentally shot himself.

According to the story, a man is being held on charges of “negligent homicide.” To find out why this is a crime and not just another tragic accident, follow the link; the reason should be immediately apparent.

Be polite in the workplace (emphasis added).

A Santa Rosa County employee discharged his 9 millimeter handgun in the Santa Rosa tax collector’s office.

The incident happened after business hours on April 21.

The shooting did damage some office equipment.

He (Stan Nichols, a member of the office staff–ed.) said the employee has a concealed weapons permit, which under Florida law, allows the employee to bring a firearm into the building.

According to statements quoted in the report, this is Santa Rosa County’s idea of a “model employee.” Extrapolating this, it would seem that, in Florida, a “model employee” is one too stupid to control his ammosexual accessories.

Politeness must be inculcated from an early age.

A 2-year-old Indiana boy fatally shot himself Wednesday evening after discovering a gun in his mother’s purse, authorities said.

The boy retrieved the gun when his mother “momentarily stepped away,” leaving her purse on the kitchen counter, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release.

“Guns everywhere” is working out so very nicely, is it not?

Politeness takes practice.

An Alaska man was shot and killed Saturday while photographing acquaintances shooting guns at a gravel pit.

Adam Malaby apparently stepped into the line of fire about 8:30 p.m. while attempting to photograph or record video of someone else firing a .40-caliber pistol at a makeshift shooting range in Sutton, reported the Alaska Dispatch News.

If he had shot back, no doubt he would be alive today.

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Politeness is cleaning up.

A man inside a nearby apartment says he was cleaning his gun when it went off, according to the assistant manager at the complex. The bullet went through a wall before eventually striking the girl.

The girl is expected to be OK, according to her mother, who did not want to be identified Sunday night. The bullet lost momentum after going through the wall, and didn’t pierce the girl’s leg.

Firearms frolics.

Politeness is a family affair.

The mother’s boyfriend confessed overnight to shooting the little girl in the face inside a home on Mayfield Street near B Street just before 2:30 p.m. Saturday, a police source confirmed to NBC10. The boyfriend told police that he was handling his semiautomatic handgun and accidentally shot the girl. Police had initially believed that the little girl’s 5-year-old sibling had found the mother’s boyfriend’s gun and accidentally shot her.

Another day in NRA Paradise.

Be polite to your little sister.

Politeness rides again.

An Elliott County woman was injured following an accidental shooting in the 1200 block of Stamper Ridge, according to the Kentucky State Police.

KSP said a boy was dismounting from his horse and the .22 caliber pistol he was carrying fell from the holster and hit the ground. The gun discharged, injuring the boy’s mother Jereen Stamper, 39.

You may ask, “Why is a 12-year-old packing heat on a horse trail?” It’s the NRA dream: every city, Dodge City; every hill, Boot Hill.

Surround your offspring with politeness.

A 2-year-old girl suffered a gunshot wound Wednesday in a Jackson hospital waiting room when her mother’s gun went off, police said.

Officer Colendula Green said a woman was waiting to be seen about 9:30 a.m. at Merit Health Central Medical Center when she went to a vending machine with her daughter, Green said. The woman dropped her purse and a gun inside went off, Green said.

Via C&L.

Conflict resolution, the NRA way.

Play politely.

Police say the girl, whose name has not been released, was shot Thursday night and died from her injuries at a hospital on Friday.

Springfield Police Sgt. John Delaney told WWLP-TV that the teen and a 17-year-old boy were “playing around” with a gun when the firearm went off and hit the girl.

Another day of NRA roulette.

Demonstrate courtesy on the public thoroughfares.

Police spokesman John Elder said the woman was southbound near Groveland Avenue at 5 p.m. when she was cut off by a beige four-door Jeep Cherokee with tinted windows.

She honked at the car, which then slowed down next to her driver side, and a passenger shot at her multiple times with a black handgun, Elder said.

Just another day in NRA paradise.

And, in more news of the polite, just how stupid do you have to be not to ensure that your gun is unloaded before you fondle it lustfully clean it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Politeness takes practice.

“It’s a tragedy, a freak accident,” Berry said. “It was a misfire of a gun that ricocheted, hit the floor and unfortunately hit Chad. It’s crushing for everybody who was there and even more crushing for the one who was holding the weapon.”

Where I come from, a “misfire” means the damn gun doesn’t go off.

Politeness can be a moving experience.

Witnesses at the home say they were in the process of helping the family move, when a bed was broken down and a gun was found between the mattresses. The gun was placed on the floor and later picked up by a 3-year-old. The toddler discharged the weapon into the floor, the bullet ricocheted off of a window sill and struck Sorensen in the left foot. Sorensen has been treated at EIRMC for his injury.
