On Saturday, October 16, 1991, Suzanna Hupp and her parents were having lunch at the Luby's in Killeen. She had left her handgun in her car to comply with Texas state law at the time which forbade carrying a concealed weapon. When George Hennard drove his truck into the cafeteria and opened fire on the patrons, Hupp instinctively reached into her purse for her weapon, but it was in her vehicle. Her father, Al, tried to rush Hennard and was shot in the chest. As the gunman reloaded, Hupp escaped through a broken window and believed that her mother, Ursula, was behind her. Instead she watched as Hennard killed her parents and twenty-one other persons. He also wounded some twenty others. As a survivor of the Luby's massacre, Hupp testified across the country in support of concealed-handgun laws. She said that had there been a second chance to prevent the slaughter, she would have violated the Texas law and carried the handgun inside her purse into the restaurant.

She is totally 100% correct,these gun laws are made from scared fat cats and stupid soccer mom`s.

i call them Sheeple, they would rather die than defend their very lives of their loved one`s.

Wished she would of smoked the fucker.but one stupid ass then would ask ''would it made things better''? FUCK YES..

The reason why we have the 2nd Amendment is because guns protect people when police officers aren't able to be there.

Also, our Founding Fathers knew at one point in time that our govt could become tyrannical and evil as well. At that point the democratic process would no longer work, and the only possible way to secure liberty would be for the populace to take up arms against their own govt.

It is THE LAST check and balance between liberty and a Stalinistic Dictatorship

@voogun Dial 911 and DIE. The police only minutes away, when seconds count! The only way to stop crime, carry a cop with you at all times. Guns cause crime like matches cause fires. Permit to carry: 2nd amendment. Permit to own: 2nd amendment. Permit to shoot tyrants: 2nd amendment. Now if we can only wake up enough people to utilize the power of the jury to find people guilty of gun law crimes NOT GUILTY for exercising their right. I refuse to ask SOMEONE for a PERMIT to protect myself.

[theegrimreaper]

your a fucking idiot feonor 26/ hey just if you do not know what freedom is then get the fuck ouit of this country if you are here. Hey in your comment to me dick face about 200 years ago yada yada yada BS re: bandits and indians attacking. We were the indians moron and we were not the bandits. It is our country then and now. Anyone else that values and truly knows what the hell freedom is should stay. All others get the hell out or get ready to reap the whirlwind moron.

[feonor26]

@theegrimreaper The reason why you have the 2nd amenment is because 200 years ago your could get killed travelling the road full of bandits and indians. Back then you needed to own a gun to survive. But because your forefathers in their good intentional but short sightedness gave you guns in the constitution...then gun has stayed in every home and become part of the american culture. I've seen the Occupy Wallstreet people on TV and how the police treat them. You are not free!
