Social crusaders and their first counsins the do-gooders love to tell the rest of us what is wrong with us. They’re usually completely ignorant of root causes involved and attack the symptoms instead. Got a gun violence problem? It’s the guns we should take away, not the violence.
Great Britain prohibits firearms but still has major crime issues. It is hard for me to feel sorry for this lady.
The grandson of prominent anti-gun campaigner Pat Regan has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing her to death. Mrs Regan, 53, was discovered at the property on Marlborough Grange in the Hyde Park area of Leeds on Sunday.
I don’t understand why it is so hard for people to focus on changing the mental constructs and environmental factors that lead to violent mentalities. If you have a violent person, and you take away his gun, he will get a knife. If you take away the knife, he will get a bat. If you take away the bat, he will find a brick.
Why not ask why the damn kid is so violent to begin with and fix that? Non-violent people with guns and knives don’t represent a threat to anyone. It’s too late for Pat Regan and maybe too late for her grandson, but it isn’t too late for society to re-examine root causes and fix the problems. Is it?
