Good testimony. Check out Vratil's comment.

The Luby's shootings was a horrible, horrible day.

I'm still trying to figure out where the state gets off telling its citizens that they cannot carry concealed as a matter of freedom. And it is from that position that citizens must ask and beg for it to be made legal? I guess I just don't think the way other folks (politicians) do.

Sen. John Vratil, a Federal and State Affairs Committee member, said he would like to see churches added to the list.

Not that any churches have ever been shot up by nutcases. /sarcasm

Most of the times I get around to reading legislative deliberations, I come to the conclusion that being elected to political office is like joining the anti-mensa society.

Dr. Hupp is very effective. It's hard for an anti-gunner to look her in the eyes and say, "You were better off not having that gun." You know that's what they believe, but even they can't bring themselves to say it.

Her loss was terribly tragic, but what she's done with her life since then has been to work tirelessly to ensure that the anti-gunners can't just trot out victim after victim without confronting them with the (to them) ugly truth that guns are used for defense.

She's an amazing woman.

I was mad at hell at my legislators, because I felt they had legislated me out of my right to protect myself

California doesn't believe people should have the right to protect themselves
