Of course guns aren't dangerous. No. It's the people who use them.

I wonder if it was the gun that he was "awarded" by the NRA?

He was hunting quail at the time. That's quail, not Quayle.

It's ok! It's ok! It was only a lawyer!

Harry Whittington is likely to bear the marks for life
The lawyer shot by US Vice-President Dick Cheney in a hunting accident has suffered a minor heart attack, a Texas hospital spokesman has said.
He said Harry Whittington, 78, suffered a heartbeat irregularity caused by a pellet lodged in his heart.

Mr Whittington was moved back into intensive care on Tuesday and will be treated for at least another week.

Dick Cheney accidentally injured his hunting companion while shooting quail on a ranch in Texas on Saturday.


Despite the heart problem, doctors said there were no immediate fears for Mr Whittington's life.

NPR, along with other networks, is reporting that Harry Whittington has been released from hospital and that he has given a press conference in which he apologized,

"My family and I are deeply sorry for everything Vice President Cheney and his family have had to deal with."
