A polite society is a clean society.

Vermont State Police say a 9-year-old girl has been hospitalized in the intensive care unit after her father accidentally shot her in the stomach while cleaning a .22-caliber handgun.

And a clean society, it seems, is a stupid society.

NRA guy keeps calling for more and more guns, then wonders where all the bullets are coming from.

Southern Beale points out the inconsistencies (follow the link for the entire post).

No one wants to politicize a tragedy but no one also ever points out that calling for arming teachers, National Guard recruiters, airplane pilots, etc. is doing just that.

Even if persons get too close to you, show politeness.

Upon leaving the store, Michelle Dupree found that someone had parked too close to her truck, Renton police accounts say.

Dupree reportedly waited for the driver. When he emerged from the store and got into the driver’s seat of his car, she started yelling at him and initiated an argument, court documents say.

The man backed out of the parking lot and started to drive away, but the two continued to argue. The man reportedly yelled, “I’m a man” out of his car window, probable cause records say, prompting Dupree to reply, “Well, I’m a woman. That’s why I have an equalizer.”

Dupree allegedly retrieved a handgun from her truck, pointed it at the man and walked toward his car as he tried to leave the parking lot.
