"Neighbour Killer" given life term

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-14189216

An interesting bit of news, here. This man, Andrew Dawson, was out of prison on license for murder, and murdered two other people. Both adult men, both in their own homes, both stabbed to death. Completely ignoring the issue of a life sentence meaning a few years before you're free to kill again, perhaps if these innocent Derby men had had firearms in their homes they could have defended themselves from this killer? He was only armed with knives. Even a simple revolver, of the type once commonly carried in the UK for self-defence, would have been enough to deal with him.

  1. If someone decides to break into your home and harm you there is practically nothing you can do to stop them unarmed. What does the government expect a person to do when they are the focus of an attack? You can't take on a knife wielding nutjob with bare hands without being injured.

    An effective personal defence weapon is the answer.
