    I'm American, so I don't get it. Why is it ironic, and why are you sorry?

    Irony as a gun protestor gets stabbed and sorry as its not really a laughing matter.

    No one said it was funny. Merely ironic.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    I see. Thanks.

    Ironic, to me (an admittedly irony-impaired guy) would be a gun-rights/knife-rights person being stabbed/shot, rather than an anti-gun/knife crusader.

    But her being stabbed by her grandson does seem a little weird. And certainly tragic, in a Classical Greek-theatrical kinda way.

    Or an anti-gun/knife activist being saved by a gun/knife, its still slightly ironic i think, just not as clear cut.
