Nope, just providing evidence that private gun owners save more lives than are lost at the hands of bad actors.

Here's what can happen to unarmed people: Couple killed in NW Harris Co. gated community were 'executed' SPRING, Texas (KTRK) -- A source tells Eyewitness News that a man and wife found dead inside their home in a gated northwest Harris County community were executed. More than 24 hours have passed since sheriff's deputies first arrived on Glorietta Turn. When deputies entered the home, they found the bodies of Bao and Jenny Lam on the first floor of the home. Investigators said the Lam's home had been ransacked. "Everything was disturbed," said Harris Co. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. "Furniture was overturned, drawers were opened. It will take some time to process the scene." Gonzalez said it was possible that the couple may have been killed as many as three days ago. According to our source, this crime was not random but the couple appears to have been targeted. A neighbor we spoke with said he had not seen the couple in two days. "It's very scary. That's why I am worried right now," he told Eyewitness News. "You don't know what is going on next door." Deputies said the couple is in their early 60s. Neighbors told us the husband owned six Subway sandwich franchises in the Houston area. abc13.com [ What isn't in this article is that the Lam's were taken in their garage, taken into their house, tied up, tortured to get them to reveal where valuables might be hidden. The killers left and returned to the scene at least once to get more stuff. They took their luxury car and neighbors of the thugs saw them unloading stolen loot from it in their apartment and called the law. Hopefully those who called them in will get some kind of crimestoppers reward as well as having dangerous trash removed from their apartment complex. This will almost certainly be a death penalty case. And this kind of thing is why I favor the death penalty. ] Surveillance video shows the Lams arriving home around 8:40 p.m. Thursday. Police said “it appears the suspects ambushed the Lams inside their garage and forced them into their residence, where they were bound, robbed, and murdered.” The sheriff’s office noted it appeared the murder suspects returned to the Lams home “several times” between Thursday night and Saturday night, and Gonzalez said the Lam family "was clearly targeted." The Lams had moved to the U.S. in the 1970s from Taiwan and Laos, according to the Chronicle. After enrolling in college, Bao and Jenny reportedly worked several jobs to support their children. The two operated a Marble Slab Creamery location and later opened multiple Subway franchises. "My parents were my superheroes. They were there for us every step of the way — every game, every recital, every symphony," Richard Lam said, with his sister, Michelle, crying as she told reporters, "They took them from us way too soon." The three suspects were booked into the Harris County Jail on capital murder charges. Richard shared these pictures of him and his parents after their bodies were found this weekend ............. On Tuesday, cops released surveillance video showing that one of the suspects was 'unusually tall', and appeared to be wearing a letter jacket with the initials 'CC'. Within 24 hours, tips from the public led police to Khari Kendrick, his half-brother Aakiel Kendrick and Peralta. Khari Kendrick was a a six-foot-six stand-out basketball player at Cypress Creek High School, graduating in 2012, the Houston Chronicle reported. He had previously been sentenced to 30 years for a brazen string of more than 20 burglaries in the Houston area, but was freed by the state parole commission after serving less than three years behind bars. [ OUTRAGEOUS. This innocent couple were murdered because of the parole commission's leniency. Another argument for the death penalty. This guy was sentenced to 30 years but served less than three. ] The Lams' adult son Richard Lam spoke out at a press conference on Wednesday to express the family's relief that the suspects had been apprehended. 'We are relived to have these three men off the streets no longer able to harm anybody else,' he said. 'We are all extremely grateful for the hard work that the men and women in blue did around the clock,' the son continued. 'They worked tirelessly and we know it, and we truly appreciate it, and we hope we get some closure at trial.' Read more: dailymail.co.uk Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter \| DailyMail on Facebook
