Prominent Anti-Gun Advocate...
stabbed to death in the UK
A prominent anti-gun campaigner has been stabbed to death at a flat in West Yorkshire.The body of Pat Regan, 53, was discovered at the property on Marlborough Grange in the Hyde Park area of Leeds on Sunday.
Mrs Regan, a mother-of-six, started campaigning against gun crime after her son Danny was shot dead in 2002.
A 20-year-old man, a family member, has been arrested. Police said post-mortem tests would take place later.
Mrs Regan's son Danny, 25, became involved in criminality and was shot at his then home in Haydock, near St Helens, Merseyside. His killer has not been found.
As Sis said below...yeesh.

This is sad, but quite ironic.

I think that the key here is the little phrase "became involved in criminality." He didn't get shot because he was a country vicar.
I can't believe that the regular citizens are just sitting still for this. Where's the spirit of Agincourt? What happened to fighting them in the beaches, on the streets, and never surrendering? These yobbos are essentially domestic Hun - have at 'em!

Sad yes, of course, but...number 1 way to most reduce your odds of being murdered: don't be a criminal yourself.

Good question.
