Bringing a Knife to an Anti-Gun Fight

The grandson of a prominent anti-gun campaigner has been arrested after she was found stabbed to death at a flat in West Yorkshire.

Looks like:
A. People should focus on their families, and
B. She picked the wrong tool.

  1. That sentence out of context like that leads to some serious parsing problems. It sounds like the grandson was a 'she' and was arrested after being stabbed to death.

  2. The subhead makes more sense...

    "The grandson of prominent anti-gun campaigner Pat Regan has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing her to death."

  3. The Brit press is very coy about it, but a few facts come to light:

    Pat Regan was the mother of Danny Regan who was murdered in 2004. Danny was a gang-member and drug dealer.

    Danny Jr., Danny Sr.'s orphaned son and Pat's grandson, stabbed a man in a train station shortly before they found Pat's body. Like father, like son.

    "She was determined to do all that she could so that other mothers didn't go through the experience that she went through when her son, Danny, was killed."

    Well, she should have started her campaign about the time Danny was being weaned.

    I'm going out on a limb here an suggest that this story, as usual, has nothing to do with guns, and everything to do with bad behavior.

    Bad parenting, bad choices, bad people.

    But MY GUN is the problem.

  4. Yeah, crappy parenting, but blame the gun.
