“First Friday” speakers for the rest of 2009 are:
— September 4, Michael Anthony Peroutka. Topic to be announced.
— October 2, Prof. Richard Weikart. He’s head of the Department at California State University; author of, among other works, “From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics and Racism in Germany.” His newest book “Hitler’s Ethic” will be out by the time he speaks. He argues that Hitler’s “ideology revolved around evolutionary ethics — the idea that whatever promoted evolutionary progress is good and whatever hinders it is bad.” This year 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth.
— November 6, Suzana Hupp; she’s a former Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives and is recognized as a leading advocate for the Second Amendment and an individual’s right to carry a concealed weapon.
On Wednesday, October 16, 1991, Hupp and her parents were having lunch at the Luby’s in Killeen. She had left her handgun 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.
Suzanna’s is a compelling story. She’ll have a book out by the time she speaks. You can hear her here in a “The American View” interview.
Show 102: Virginia Tech Massacre Proves, With A Vengeance, That “Gun Control” Leaves Only The Murderer With Guns. This program discusses the mass murders at Virginia Tech and how, among other things, there might have been fewer murders had the school allowed students, faculty, school employees to arm themselves on campus which, alas, was prohibited. This program also features an interview with former Texas State Legislator Suzanna Gratia Hupp who was in Luby’s Cafeteria (10/16/91) in Killeen, Texas, when George Hennard drove his truck into this eatery, opened fire with his Glock 17/RugerP89, and murdered 23 people including Suzanna’s Mom and Dad. Suzanna might have been able to prevent many of these murders if she had her gun with her in her purse but a Texas “gun control” law forbid carrying a concealed weapon.
The “Institute on the Constitution (IOTC)” is an educational effort sponsored by the Law Office of Peroutka and Peroutka of Pasadena, Maryland. It is neither an instrument of, nor an advocate for, any particular political party. Rather, it advocates the restoration of our Constitutional Republic by offering classes, lectures, and products designed to re-acquaint the American people with our history, our heritage, and our Constitution, which is the very foundation of our Republic. You will not find smoke, mirrors, or political correctness filters at our presentations — just real American history, the way it was, the way it ought to be taught.
