British Anti-Gun Activist Stabbed to

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. The mother-of-six started campaigning against gun crime when her son Danny was shot dead in 2002. The 20-year-old man was being held on suspicion of murder, police said.

It is thought he had been arrested earlier in the day over another stabbing. A 45-year-old railway worker was treated in hospital for a stab wound to his arm after challenging a man for trespassing at Leeds station on Sunday morning, British Transport Police said.
Mrs Regan set up a Leeds branch of Mothers Against Guns after her son Danny, 25, was shot at his home in Haydock, near St Helens, Merseyside in December 2002. His killer has not been found. She had met government officials to discuss how to tackle the problems of guns and gang-related crime. Dee Edwards, co-founder of campaign group Mothers Against Murder and Manslaughter, said Mrs Regan would visit schools and give talks about the dangers and consequences of getting involved in crime. She said: “She made such a big difference to so many people’s lives. This is an absolute tragedy for so many people.” Mrs Edwards said she had known Mrs Regan for about six years and described her as the “most incredible woman”.
“It’s just the most dreadful news for everyone. She’s just an amazing woman,” she added.

If she was armed she could have defended herself...

I fell sympathy for her family for their loss.

Lets see her son is gunned down in his home (probably by a gang as that was what she was preaching about) and her grandson stabs her to death. Maybe she should have worked on her parenting skills rather than wasting all that energy against inanimate objects... Just a thought I could be wrong.....

Probably not too far from the truth.

I was thinking the same thing when I read the title. They will probably want to ban activism too because activism can get you killed.

soon, the English will need permits to own butter knives so they can put jam on their toast.
