Celebrate special occasions politely.

“We said, ‘Oh it’s midnight, happy New Year’s,’ and then immediately she puts her hand to her head and there’s blood dripping down and she says I got shot,” said Shay Orozco, who was hosting the gathering.

The woman had suffered a gunshot wound to the head after a bullet fell from the sky. When Orozco realized what had happened she called 911.

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.

Show your politeness to the TSA.

If you’re going to run from TSA officers after they catch you with a loaded gun in your carry-on at the airport, don’t forget to grab your ID and boarding pass before you high-tail it out of the security checkpoint.

The polite just keep on truckin’.

On Thursday morning, officials received reports of a person shooting at semi-trucks along I-35, between the 75 and 86 mile markers.

One more time, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

Tet another hunter can’t tell a human being from (in this case) small game.

Here’s the headline; follow the link for the story.

Hunter who thought he was firing at animal shot and killed teen at Lake Nockamixon, DA says

Party politely.

Washoe County deputies responded to call around 1 a.m. Sunday about a teen who was shot in the thigh at a party about 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Reno. The girl was not identified.

The Washoe County sheriff’s office said it is believed somebody at the party fired a weapon into the dark not knowing she was there. The teen is expected to recover from her injuries.

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.

Ensure that your offspring play politely.

Show politeness to your siblings.

Laura Natalya Rodriguez was killed Tuesday. Houston police said she was shot by her younger brother who was showing off a gun.

PSA for gun nuts:

The internet is a public place.

Once again, we are reminded that politeness is a family value.

TPD (Thomasville, Ga., Police Department) found a minor with a gunshot wound to the left arm, according to the media report.

24-year old Jarquese Harris stated that his friend had left an AR-15 rifle in the house and that his friend’s grandmother did not want it to leave the house.

Harris attempted to take the rifle outside and accidentally pulled the trigger, not knowing that the safety was off or that the gun was loaded, the media report says.

Thus passeth another day in NRA Paradise.

And a polite society is a clean society.

“It was a freak accident. It was supposed to be an unloaded gun and my husband was just doing maintenance cleaning on it like he normally does. There wasn’t supposed to be any rounds in it or anything like that,” she said.

The gun somehow went off and a bullet hit Jack (the eight-year old son–ed.). Canton Township Police say he was rushed to the hospital, but doctors could not save him.

Politeness is so easy that even a child can do it.

Friends should be polite to each other.

An intoxicated minor who was driving with a loaded AR-15 rifle in his lap Saturday evening told police that he carried the assault weapon because he “has seen crazy stuff since moving to Florida” from Alabama, according to arrest affidavits.

Afterthought:

A good lawyer might just make this defense work . . . .

Parent politely.

A 9-year-old boy was shot Thursday night in what police described as an accident as a father attempted to clear his handgun of ammunition.

Well, he certainly did clear his armament of ammunition, did he not?

One more time, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

Yet another responsible gun owner demonstrates that politeness is a family value.

The sheriff’s office said Andrew Smith, 28, was deer hunting with his father and a group of friends on Dec. 2 just south of the city of Delaware in a wooded area along Pollock Road.

Smith was not wearing any orange hunting gear when his father mistook him for a deer and shot him, according to the sheriff’s office.

Once again, adults ensure that children are exposed to politeness at an early age.

There’s been an outbreak of politeness in Wichita, Kansas:

(Police Chief Gordon–ed.) Ramsay said the first shooting involved someone who shot their significant other in the hand while checking the safety on a gun kept under a pillow in bed. In the second incident, someone accidentally shot themself (sic) in the leg.

A gun under the pillow? Someone’s been watching too many old detective movies.

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.

The Columbus police department said in a statement: “Upon arrival, officers found 12-year-old Lidia Ghide suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. She was transported in critical condition to Mount Carmel East Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 9:27 p.m.

“The investigation revealed that 42-year-old Eric Carpenter was handling a rifle in his apartment when the gun was fired. The shot fired left Carpenter’s apartment and hit and fatally wounded Lidia, who was in an adjacent apartment.

One more time, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.

Aside:

I note the passive voice: “the gun was fired.” Also, what’s with “apparent gunshot wound”?
