Luby's Cafeteria Massacre survivor Dr. Suzanna Gratia Hupp testifying to Congress on why good Americans obeying bad gun laws leads to death and suffering. The former Texas House Representative shared her story about her parents being killed before her eyes by a shooter in a Luby's Restaurant. Due to gun restrictions, she had left her gun in her car that fateful day. Ever since, she has been spreading the word about a right-to-carry law would have probably saved her parents' lives.
IMPORTANT QUOTES ON LIBERTY & THE 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS

Congregationalist minister and Harvard graduate, Jonathan Mayhew, is considered by many to be the prophet of the American Revolution. In 1750 Mayhew published a sermon entitled "A Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission and Non-Resistance to the Higher Powers" in which he addressed the issue of obedience to a higher authority as required by Romans 13, stating,
"That no civil rulers are to be obeyed when they enjoin things that are inconsistent with the commands of God.... All commands running counter to the declared will of the Supreme Legislator of heaven and earth are null and void, and therefore disobedience to them is a duty, not a crime."
Mayhew continued:
"From whence it follows, that as soon as the prince sets himself up above law, he loses the king in the tyrant. He does, to all intents and purposes, unking himself by acting out of and beyond that sphere which the constitution allows him to move in; and in such cases he has no more right to be obeyed than any inferior officer who acts beyond his commission."
Mayhew warned:
"A spirit of domination is always to be guarded against, both in church and state, even in times of the greatest security, — such as the present is among us, at least as to the latter. Those nations who are now groaning under the iron sceptre of tyranny were once free; so they might probably have remained, by a seasonable precaution against despotic measures. Civil tyranny is usually small in its beginning, like "the drop of a bucket," till at length, like a mighty torrent, or the raging waves of the sea, it bears down all before it, and deluges whole countries and empires."
(A Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission and Non-Resistance to the Higher Powers, Jonathan Mayhew, 1750, pp. 37, 38, 45, Preface p. 2) http://www.archive.org/stream/discourseconcer00mayh#page/n10/mode/1up
The eminent jurist and American patriot St. George Tucker said,
"The right of self-defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and when the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction."
(in Blackstone's Commentaries, St. George Tucker, 1803, p. 300) http://books.google.com/books?id=9dJ4BMa46wEC&pg=PA300&dq

@NationalApostasy, You're welcome. I think she explains it very well. Unfortunately most U.S. citizens are too caught up in other cares of life to really be concerned enough to stop our politicians from violating their sacred oaths of office. Instead of defending and upholding the U.S. Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, most of our elected and appointed officials (including many in the military and law enforcement) are violating the Constitution and destroying our Rights.
