"[edit] Death of parentsOn Wednesday, October 16, 1991, Hupp and her parents were having lunch at the Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen. She had left her gun in her car to comply with Texas state law at the time, which forbade carrying a concealed weapon. When George Hennard drove his truck into the cafeteria and opened fire on the patrons, Hupp instinctively reached into her purse for her weapon, but it was in her vehicle. Her father, Al Gratia, tried to rush Hennard and was shot in the chest. As the gunman reloaded, Hupp escaped through a broken window and believed that her mother, Ursula Gratia, was behind her. Hennard put a gun to her mother's head as she cradled her mortally wounded husband. Hupp's mother and father were killed along with twenty-one other persons. Hennard also wounded some twenty others. As a survivor of the Luby's massacre, Hupp testified across the country in support of concealed-handgun laws. She said that had there been a second chance to prevent the slaughter, she would have violated the Texas law and carried the handgun inside her purse into the restaurant."
Now contrast this woman, with a certain one in Long Island in 1993. McCarthy- who's son and husband were passengers on the train during Colin Furgesson's rampage.
When this savage went on his shooting spree, the passengers were sitting ducks.
Ever been on a Long Island railroad train? Cramped, confined, no where to go/run to/take cover from a gunman.
Being NY,of course, common citizens are not permitted sidearms. Carried or otherwise.
All any of them could do was sit there in their seats and accept the bullet to the head.
Now, McCarthy took the exact OPPOSITE stance on the matter.
Blaming the guns,instead of the madman doing the shooting, and deciding that the alredy draconian anti-gun laws in NY were not rectrictive enough.
She ran for office-and won-repeatedly to be a Rep.
