This is excellent testimony from Dr. Susan Gratia-Hupp before the last assault weapons ban, on how she survived a massacre in Texas. She basically explains why we need large capacity clips and the so-called assault weapons. If you haven’t seen it I don’t want to ruin the details for you, but it is powerful testimony:

This is an excellent video and I know it's the truth. However these democRATS DON'T CARE

We could have 5 million stories about how guns have saved lives but they don't care. They are coming after our guns no matter what. During obummers inagrual speech he came out of the closet for those who didn't know he is the most liberal progressive President this country has ever see. I would go farther to say his eyes are set on becoming the worlds KING DICTATOR. So yes he wants to disarm America and will do so by any means and that means collectoral damages. I beleive he has his wackos out there shooting people so they can take advantage of a catastrophe. Look how many have died in Mexico with the fast and furious plan. Hold on to your hats because this is going to be a up hill battle. We need to organize and be ready to gather together wherever obama is trying to drum up support accross America. ASAP!

We the people have an inalienable right to possess the same weapons that this govt would use against us,PLAIN AND SIMPLE,the 2nd amendment guarantees us that right!! You want to be a liberal and let this govt control every aspect of your life,go ahead,I'll pass on that one! When has this govt of late done anything that was right or benefitted the American citizen!! I want a govt FOR and BY the PEOPLE not for and by the corrupt politically correct politician!! Oh and BTW I would also like to smack the sissy ass chuckie schumers face also!

Well it should come as no surprise to see that FrankenStein's bill has special exceptions for her friends:

===

Not everyone will have to abide by Senator Dianne Feinstein's gun control bill. If the proposed legislation becomes law, government officials and others will be exempt.

"Mrs. Feinstein's measure would exempt more than 2,200 types of hunting and sporting rifles; guns manually operated by bolt, pump, lever or slide action; and weapons used by government officials, law enforcement and retired law enforcement personnel," the Washington Times reports.

===

Isn't that special. :-( One rule for them and one rule for the rest of us. I guess our lives, families, wives, children and livelihoods are just not worth as much as theirs! UGH!!!

That's what they do for all bills passed. They are allowed insider trading but we the people will go to jail if we tried to make money on insider trading. Like I said the libs could have all tbe evidence in the world showing how guns save lives it doesn't matter. They want to disarm America. This regime is sending F16 to Egypt 20 of them & 200 tanks of charge. 50 thousand have died in Mexico because they can't defend themselves.

What a powerful testimony from a powerful and very articulate woman! Sad that 20 years later, we are still having to defend our right to defend ourselves from this same pathetic group of politicians! They are exactly why there needs to be term limits!

clockwindingdown
clockwindingdown

I agree completely. We need to not only stop their intrusion we need to stop their careers!

It is time we on the right start our own battle and take it to them, it is time we start a grass roots effort to remove these people from office. Let it be known to them why we are doing this. Then it is time for us to force term limits on these people.

Most of these so called representatives are the ones the created the situations our country faces today, they've been on office so long. We would fire employees for this kind of performance or be fired as an employee for same. I'm guessing that is why low information voters reelect these people, they too perform poorly at their responsibility, that of being an upstanding and informed citizen!

What a great clip. Reality and truth are the best arguments against tyranny. I am sure Smuckey Shummer didn't empathize with one word she said.

"It's all about our right to be able to protect ourselves from all of you guys up there". It is those guys up there. Those are the people I most fear. IF they could stop mass killings it will do nothing for the murder rate as a whole. It will rise. There will be more robberies, home invasions and assaults and with unarmed prey more will be killed just in smaller numbers. The folks who walk into their home and find an armed invader. They have no gun...they're dead. The convenience store owner confronted by an armed robber...has no gun...he's dead and maybe the other patrons inside. The women walking down a street and are met with an armed attacker...they have no gun either...they're dead. You wont hear about these except for local news. The media wont report the higher total number of murders either. They WILL tell you how there hasn't been people killed in theaters though.

Love the last line. "It's all about our right to be able to protect ourselves from all of you guys up there"

Awesome video. I have watched this dozens of times but never grow tired of hearing her story.

Also see why we need term limits, to protect ourselves from all those guys up there? There was Schumer then, doing what he is doing today.

I think this was around the time of Di Fi's first assault weapons ban 20 years ago, and NONE of the issues have changed. They wanted to limit the # of round then and now in a weapon, and ban scary looking weapons.

It is the professional politician that is the greatest threat to our liberties.

Libertyship46

Wow. I wonder if Dianne Feinstein was there, let alone saw this. The difference between a liberal and a conservative is that a conservative wants to protect your existing rights, while a liberal believes you only deserve the rights government thinks you need. And if a few innocent people are murdered in the process, hey, you have to break a few eggs to make an omlette, right? Makes sense to the liberals, unless YOU are one of the eggs.

WordsFailMe

Is there still a free man that supports himself and defends his land with his neighbors who believes the perennial curse of the liberal politician can be contained or removed by the use of reason?

Has there been a single instance in human where a tyrant, who'd gained power by bribing and feeding the avarice of the masses gave up that power in favor of empowering the individual?

Does anyone think that Hitler, Pol Pot, or Mao would have relented once they had been convinced their policies lead to the enslavement and suffering of their fellow men? The rats can smell blood and they will not stop of their own accord now.

Have we learned so little in 3 million years?

At the end of this clip, I like how Dr. Hupp equated the maniacal murderer in Luby's Cafeteria with the politicians, including Schuck Schummer, sitting at the front of the room taking the testimony.

This is a woman I can respect. She is talking about using guns, not simply owning them.

There's a difference, you know.

This is a good time to put up a link to an excellent essay by Robert H. Boatman in his book Living With Glocks:

"The Constitutional Right

And Social Obligation To Carry A Gun"

clockwindingdown

Why do we need guns? Because government elected people fear guns, they do not fear the people!

Why do we need guns? Because those elected to represent us would rather rule over us!

Why do we need guns? Because the only thing those elected to government understand is that when, "WE the people" whom elected them have had enough of bullying the citizenry has the right and authority to replace them, by force if necessary!

Why do we need guns? Because it appears our elected officials forgot whom they work for!

Why do we need guns? To protect from those who choose to harm others!

Why do we need guns? Because We are the people that form this more perfect union!

Why do we need guns? Because tyranny lives in man, and as long as there is man we must be prepared, and to oppose his evil intent!

WOW ! She said it better than anyone I've ever heard at the end. She told them to their faces that we need guns to protect ourselves from THEM !! Folks, it doesn't get any better than this. She was super duper fantastic.

The reason they keep talking about hunting is because they don't want to raise the true issue of why the second amendment is there. Dumb people down and don't let them know the truth about how the 2nd amendment protects us from our own government. Another way they are circumventing the Constitution. If people are misled about the truth and they accept it, they can easily be misled about the power of government and what it can do.

You are very eloquent. I look forward to your posts!

clockwindingdown

You are correct! We and all those on media programs defending the 2nd Amendment need to correct that it has nothing to do with hunting but has to do with keeping the government in check.

It is our duty to be armed as citizens, our way to participating in limited government and check and balance there of!

Those whom do not wish to participate in this form of government are free to leave, such is the nature of a free society. But those that wish to participate can do so only if they agree too, and follow the rules of our Nation! One of those rule is to be armed!

They can go to Venezuela, which has reached the liberal utopia already. Or, since they are so gung-ho on defending radical Islam, they can go to Egypt. Let them experience their view of "democracy" up front and center.

What a brave woman. So articulate after her life was changed so drastically by the death of her parents.

People, like Shumer, should learn to put themselves in someone else's position before making decisions that will affect their lives.

What a courageous young woman to be so articulate while remembering the unnecessary deaths of her parents. Very brave. She spoke for millions of Americans.

I can`t THANK YOU enough for putting this up. I`ve NEVER before or since seen a better example of what this debate is all about. This testimony is timeless and I have thought about it countless times SCOOP, since first I saw it years ago. Peace be with you....

I remember the Luby's shooting well. A very tragic and terrible event. It took a great deal of courage for Dr. Gratia to testify. I wonder what Chucky was thinking as he was sitting there listening to her. He didn't care. If anything, he was most likely thinking about lunch at one of the local DC eating establishments because he voted for the Clinton "assault weapons" ban:

http://www.nytimes.com/1994/07/28/us/assault-weapons-ban-allowed-to-stay-in-anti-crime-measure.html

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/congress/gun_ban_3-21.html

Nothing is going to change global authoritarian Chucky's ways and don't let those pesky facts stand in the way of his anti-Second Amendment agenda:

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/12/24/Sen-Schumer-Says-Long-Dead-Assault-Weapons-Ban-Responsible-for-Current-Falling-Crime-Stats

http://www.ontheissues.org/domestic/Charles_Schumer_Gun_Control.htm

As with most politicians on Capitol Hill and has been the case for decades, they neither have the time nor the inclination to listen to the "irrational blather" of the "common folk". Too bad Dr. Gratia's words fell upon the mostly deaf ears of the committee morons in the room with her.
