Ja wohl !

"Defense" used to be an adequate word/title for the government
I'm not at all sure what "Homeland" added to the concept.

For those of us of WWII vintage, it has very negative implications.

Two things I've wondered about for a long time now.

1. Has an infant ever been used in a terrorist attack?

2. How old was the oldest confirmed terrorist?

That's fucked up. Gotta be some sort of mental illness. It's not normal.

Edit: dude's FB page is still up. Looks like he has boys the same age as the victim.

Certainly sounds like he may have some sort of disrupted mental state. God, what a nightmare. That poor family.

Not that the ban on some kinds of knife and mandatory prison sentences for carrying a bladed weapon would have stopped this appalling crime.

It's kind of like guns - as your post suggests. The thing with banning guns, is that it won't stop all gun crimes, and it won't stop all murders - but it will stop some.
