Poetic Justice or Irony

[WarBicycle]

Anti-gun campaigner Pat Regan stabbed to death at home

Poetic justice does not merely require that vice be punished and virtue rewarded, but also that logic triumph; had she owned a gun she may be alive today.

You're an idiot.

"A mother who championed a national campaign against gun and knife crime has been found stabbed to death at her home."

Your Link

Her grandson arrested.

Why doe's it seem believable to me that you would not delay in killing your own family members?

Nice thread, asshole.

IOW, a gun is better than a knife and a RPG is better than a gun.

WarBicycle, where do you draw the line? Should Canadians have the right to own an RPG? A tactical nuclear weapon?

George W. Bush seems to favour "gun control" when it applies to foreigners.

This just in from Alanis Morisette ....and the judges have made it official...

...isn't it ironic.

And you're just as depraved as the crackpot who started this thread and considers a woman being stabbed to death by her grandson to be "poetic justice." I guess you clowns are incapable of coming up with better arguments against gun control than this!

Not to mention she was just as adamantly fighting "knife violence" as she was gun violence. This is the sub-headline of the article cited:

A mother who championed a national campaign against gun and knife crime has been found stabbed to death at her home.

So even their "poetic justice" crap, as disgusting as it is, doesn't hold water; quite the opposite, in fact.

This was a woman who tried her best to make a difference. Whether I agreed or not with her convictions is irrelevant. I admire the dedication she brought to her cause. May she rest in peace.

I am a gun owner and unofficial advocate of lawful gun ownership, a critic of the gun registry, but what in the hell are you trying to say here??????????????????????????????

If she had smashed her mentally ill grandson in the side of the head with a baseball bat she may be alive today also, but I fail to see how any version of this story would be anything but tragedy.

Poetic Justice? Are you trying to be funny but are really bad at it...or are you so stupid that you amaze yourself each day when you remember to breathe?

How is this anymore Ironic than any gun owner (who is obviously pro gun ownership) accidently killing his family members or being shot by his own firearm.

Tell me is it poetic justice every time some idiot gun owner kills himself or somebody else unintentionally?

San Francisco police Officer James Gustafson Jr. was just getting started on what he intended to be a career in law enforcement when he accidentally shot himself to death as he socialized with friends at his apartment, his father and authorities said Monday.

Ahahahahahaha the hilarious irony.

Jesus, christ people, a woman who was attempting to do what she thought was right (even if you disagree with her methods) gets murdered and you guys act as if it's there is some karmic balance. Compasionate conservatism indeed.
