Suzanna Gratia Hupp's new book, From Luby's to the Legislature - One Woman's Fight Against Gun Control, is much more than the story of the Luby's massacre that occurred in October of 1991. It is a story about a girl and the lessons her loving parents taught her. It is about her family and events that made her the women she is today, the importance of being able to protect yourself, and the ability to change the world to make it possible (and legal) to protect your family in all the places you live. Maybe it was because I already...

Imagine walking down the street and next to someone with a gun strapped to their hip. It's an image a group of Texans are hoping to turn into reality and they're gaining support by the thousands every day. KVUE's Jessica Vess reports 07/24/2008 “This is a basic right,” said former state Legislator, Suzanna Hupp. In Texas you can fire a gun, you can buy a gun, and you can walk around with a gun, but only if you have a concealed carry permit and the gun is out of sight. “I feel safer. My home should it be breached, I...

This link: Penn & Teller on Gun Controlis a link to the entire episode of Penn & Teller's awkwardly named series where they address the issues pertaining to gun control. In keeping with their libertarian style, they are very much pro second amendment and say about themselves that: "this is a show about the violent overthrow of the US government". It's been posted before but I'm putting up again since I've been provided a link for the entire episode. I would encourage everyone to forward this link to as many people as possible, particuarly those enlightened and liberal few who...

Video Testimony of Suzanna Gratia Hupp Before Congress

NOTE: because this originally appeared in the WASH COMPOST, I had to excerpt it. The entire article is on the gun owners alliance site. ============================================================================ A Daughter's Regret Suzanna Gratia Hupp will live the rest of her life with regret. Had she been carrying her gun the day a madman executed her parents while she cowered helplessly and then fled, she is convinced she could have stopped one of the worst massacres in U.S. history. She has told the story many times over. Tomorrow she will relate it again before advocates of gun rights in a counter-rally to the Million...

Fifteen years ago next month, an armed man drove his truck through a Luby's restaurant in Killeen and opened fire upon the crowd, killing 23 patrons and wounding 20 others before turning the weapon on himself. As a direct result of the Oct. 16, 1991, Luby's incident, in 1995, Texas lawmakers, led by Suzanna Gratia Hupp (whose parents were both killed in the massacre), passed a law that allowed Texans to obtain a concealed-carry handgun permit. Concerns were raised that the new concealed handgun law would create more problems than it would solve, turning residents into armed vigilantes who would...

Suzanna Gratia Hupp's conservative ideas hold more weight in the Legislature than they used to. The Capitol, for Ms. Hupp, is more friend than foe.
