Americans Legislated Out Of Protecting Self And Family [Video]

suzanna hupp

Dr. Suzanna Hupp became a case study in gun control after testifying in front of Congress as a survivor of the 1991 “Luby” massacre in Texas where both of her parents were killed. On Monday, more than a decade later, she spoke once more on the issue, examining it through the lens of the debate currently gripping the nation.

Here is her original testimony:

“But I’ve got to tell you, I was mad as heck at my legislators, because I honestly believe they legislated me out of the right to protect myself and my family,” she concluded. “And I would much rather be sitting in jail right now with a felony offense on my head, and have my parents alive to know their grandchildren.”

She appeared on Monday, she said, not in any professional capacity, but simply as a citizen.

Hupp began by noting how uncomfortable she felt when victims of gun violence were asked to stand at the beginning of the hearing.

“Honestly, I don’t view myself as a victim of gun violence,” she said simply. “I view myself as a victim of a maniac who happened to use a gun as a tool, and I view myself as a victim of the legislators at the time who left me defenseless.”

Watch the gripping testimony via C-SPAN, below:

    AMEN! The gun is not the problem!!!! The problem is the maniacs running around the streets, on medications when they should be institutionalized. Oh wait we can’t do that until AFTER they go and kill people, cause otherwise we are infringing on their rights. And that is what happened at Sandy Hook!!!!! That kid should not have had access to the guns of his mother, and unfortunately her own actions are what led to the deaths of 26 innocent people. NOT THE GUNS, rather the OPERATOR was at fault!!!! But the government does not enforce the current gun regulations, so the obvious thing to do is pass more gun laws!!! MORONIC reactionary political stupidity!!!!

    True Guns are not the problem, but Big Corrupt Government is the greatest danger to life and health. Take just one of the Uncontrolled, unelected Corrupt Petty Bureaucratic operated Agencies, the FDA. Did you know that the FDA has allow the murder of thousands of men, women and children? How you might ask? By allowing thousands to poison drugs that kill not cure to be sold on the market at a profit margin in the thousands of percent. Then to top it all the FDA allow thousands of poison toxins in the foods so that the giant Food Processors can reap profit over the sick and dead bodies of your children. To make this point here is a quote:”THE THING THAT BUGS ME IS THAT PEOPLE THINK THE FDA IS PROTECTING THEM. IT ISN’T. THE FDA IS PROTECTING THE PROFITS OF THE CORPORATIONS THAT PAY US AND THE POLITICIANS!” Herbert Ley, M.D. Former FDA Commissioner. Please note who is getting paid, Your own Corrupt Politician who has sold his or her soul for part of the 30 pieces of Blood Stained Silver. So, Comrade(say that as we no longer have a Republic but a socialist state) when you feed your children processed bread with toxins like AZODICARBONAMIDE, High Fructose corn Syrups(Diabetes anyone), Ammonium Sulfate, Mono & triglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Tartrazine(coal tar waste) and the list goes on and on. But, what does your Senators, Representative and the New Messiah care as long as they get their palms greased. But, you Citizen Comrade, do not dare or think of buying healthy foods as you will get a visit from the FDA Gestapo Swat Team, be hauled to the FDA’s Kangaroo Court where you are guilty as charged and jailed if not beaten shot first. I know that is will go on deaf ears and Comrades just keep bowing with head down with backside up to get the Shaft(big stick) as put foot in mouth shouted to the world that the Messiah has a great big stick. Have a great Day. Chef Robert
