This is a follow up to the restaurant carry bill being passed in the Tennessee House yesterday. The first video is from 20/20 on the myth of gun control. I have to say, it would be very hard for me to agree with Rosie O’Donnell or Al Sharpton on just about anything, but hey, to each his own. The second video is a testimony before Congress by Dr. Suzanna Gratia-Hupp, a woman who survived a shooting while eating lunch with her parents. Both of her parents were killed by the crazy guy who decided to start killing people in a restaurant. The thing about these crazy guys, is you never know when or where they are going to snap.

Why don’t gun laws work? “Bad guys tend to ignore gun laws.” Imagine that.

“Guns are used 700,000 times a year in defensive situations.”

Dr. Suzanna Gratia-Hupp testifying.

“I would much rather be sitting in jail with a felony offense on my head and have my parents alive.”

“The second amendment is not about duck hunting.”

Violent crimes occur every day in many many places. It could be at a restaurant, nursing home, gas station, or church, or it could happen in your home. Places you go every day. I pray that I am never in a situation where I need to defend myself or my family. I hope that if I am, I am prepared and able to protect the people I love.
