Practicing politeness.

A 9 year-old girl in Dallas, Texas was hospitalized and fighting for her life after a bullet from a neighboring home came in through her kitchen window, striking her in the head. A 20 year-old neighbor who was accustomed to taking target practice in his back yard has been charged in the shooting.

Be polite to your classmates.

Teachers at a Peoria elementary school acted quickly when a first-grader brought a gun to show and tell on Feb. 26, a school district spokesperson said.

The gun was removed from the classroom at Oasis Elementary School near Sweetwater Avenue and 78th Drive shortly after the student pulled it out of his backpack, according to Danielle Airey, a Peoria Unified School District spokesperson.

When I was in the first grade, I knew better than to go touching the damned gun.

If I had, my father might have acidentally gone off.

Practice accidental acts of politeness.

A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm by a stray bullet Friday as she rode past a house in Orlando, police said.

(snip)

A man inside the house was handling the gun when it accidentally fired, officers said. He was hit in the thigh.

“Accidentally fired.” Yeah. Another magic gun that fires itself.

And, in additional news of the polite . . . .

Police have charged Rodrigo Clima, 58, with abduction and kidnapping after they say he held two hunters at gunpoint.

Clima, a worker at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, was arrested Thursday, but police say the incident happened back in November.

Court documents obtained by Newschannel 3 show Clima’s victims were a grandfather hunting with his 11-year-old grandson on Butler Drive.

He came out of the woods and rousted them for no damn reason.

Yet another is polite to himself.

Gun nut paradise progresses apace.

In 2010, 6,201 young people between the ages of 15 and 24 died by gunfire. Guns were a close second to the leading cause of death among this age group, car accidents, which took the lives of 7,024 young people that year. But, while car accident deaths among young people have been steadily declining over the past decade, gun deaths have remained relatively unchanged. And, as described in a new Center for American Progress report released Friday, if current trends continue, gun deaths will surpass car accident deaths among young people sometime in 2015 . . . .

According to police, a 22-year-old man brought his high-powered rifle to the home to have it cleaned by the girl’s uncle. Somehow, the weapon went off and the bullet hit the little girl’s leg.

Police say the 22-year-old initially left the house after the shot was fired.

Now, about those intelligence tests for having firearms . . . .

But now, Clyde will have to work alone while investigators determine who shot and killed Bonnie over the weekend.
