Hated Gov. Ann Richards Dies
Hated anti-gun Ann Richards is dead. But don’t expect the media to tell you this story they want you to forget it.
Richards’s keynote address to the 1988 Democratic National Convention put her in the national spotlight when she uttered the famous line, about the wealthy, then-Vice President George H. W. Bush, “Poor George, he can’t help it…He was born with a silver foot in his mouth.”
Afters the Lubies shooting Texas demanded to have back the right to carry guns. Anti gun Richards went against the voters and vetoed the bill causing gun owners to vote against her in the next election and bush was elected. The first action of Bush was to pass the Concealed Carry Bill.
Suzanna Hupp, Who was almost killed and whose parents died in a 1991 shooting spree in a cafeteria was elected to teh Senate and has testified in congress that.
she wishes she’d had her gun with her when she and her parents dined at a Luby’s restaurant in Killeen, Texas, in October 1991. She’d left her gun in her car, something she realized only after a man ran his truck into the building, got out and started shooting.
She said she was not carrying the gun in her purse because she didn’t want to break the law and lose her chiropractor’s license. She acknowledged that if she had her gun, she might not have hit the assailant but added she would have at least changed the situation. Twenty-three people died, including her parents.
“I’m angry, as you can tell,” she said. “I was mad at hell at my legislators, because I felt they had legislated me out of my right to protect myself.”
Hupp, a Republican, first won her seat in the Texas House in 1996, having already become a vocal gun rights advocate.
Texas enacted a concealed carry law in 1995, and only Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska and Wisconsin do not have them, though nine states put some restrictions on residents’ ability to receive a permit.
