No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, AND NO.

The legal definition of accidental is, "Something happening by chance; something unforeseen, unexpected, unusual, extraordinary, or phenomenal, taking place not according to the usual course of things or events, out of the range of ordinary calculations; that which exists or occurs abnormally, or an uncommon occurrence." To that end, I don't think that pulling the trigger on a firearm and having a bullet come out is unforeseen, unexpected, unusual, extraordinary, or phenomenal.

The legal definition of negligence is, "Conduct that falls below the standards of behavior established by law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm. A person has acted negligently if he or she has departed from the conduct expected of a reasonably prudent person acting under similar circumstances." And to that end, I do think pointing a firearm -- whether you believe it to be loaded or not -- at another individual, to have departed from the conduct expected of a reasonably prudent person.

So when I read the headline, "Man Charged In Accidental Fatal Shooting Of Girlfriend's Son" let's get one thing very clear: there was absolutely nothing accidental about this. An accident is a clap of thunder so loud that it causes you to bolt upright from a table and having the corner of the table catch the butt of the handgun in such a way that it pulls just hard enough to break the retention strap allowing the gun to fall to the hardwood floor where upon impact a unseen defect in the firing pin block causes that to fail releasing the firing pin striking the primer firing the gun and shooting a boy in the head. That's accident. Or pure bad luck. Or an act of God, or fate, or whatever the fuck you want to call it. But "Szilagyi said Grisham and the boy often played a game where the boy pointed his finger at Grisham and said, "bang, bang." Grisham would respond by pointing his gun at the boy (VIOLATION RULE #2) and pulling the trigger (VIOLATION RULE #3). Szilagyi said the investigation shows Grisham "this time forgot the chamber was loaded." (VIOLATION RULE #1) That's pure unadulterated negligence. That's willfully violating Rules #1, #2 and #3. That's homicide.

I've posted these four rules of firearm safety before, but don't have any hesitation about posting them again. And again. And again. And explained VERY well in this video titled Three Biggest Safety Issues.

In fact, do a Google news search for "accidental shooting" and I double dog da- -- no I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU -- to find a single scenario where at least one of these four safety rules were NOT violated.

I could go farther down the page, but I think you get the idea. As a society we have GOT to get away from the idea that these are accidents. That shucks darn, someone slid on some black ice and got into a fender bender. These are NOT accidental shootings. They are negligent shootings, and yes, there's a huge fucking difference. And I'll add this: in ANY of these cases where the shooter is a minor, there's also an adult to be held culpable as well, for storing a firearm in such a way where it can be accessed by a child (or a fucking dog). And I'm sorry, but we need to start holding these fucking people accountable for their actions, distraught family member or not.

And here's another story, and its's true. Every mass shooting -- EVERY mass shooting -- that's happened over the last 20 years has had one thing in common. Assault weapons? No. Avoided a background check? No. High capacity magazines? No. Semi-automatic weapons? No. But keep trying, I'll bet you can guess what it is.

Back up north, one of my favorite things that used to come out around this time of the year was Wachusett's Imperial Pumpkin beer. It was fucking awesome. You could taste the pumpkin but at the same time it was still beer'ey enough to taste like be beer and not a fucking wine cooler. Unfortunately, I have no such options down here in the Sunshine state, and thus I will have to see if I cant manage to find some of the pumpkin beers on this list and see how they compare to Wachusett's high water mark.

Ndamukong Suh is an American football defensive tackle for the Detroit Lions, and despite only being in his fourth NFL season, but he's already acquired a reputation as the dirtiest player in the league. Officially, of course, this is a bad thing. But Lions fans who like the idea of actually winning football games probably don't mind all that much. Let's take a look at how Suh has acquired his reputation.
