Dallas Observer about SAS

Very long, well-written article about the founding of the Second

Granny Get Your Gun

Exerpt

Mary Thompson has her prey in sight. Thompson, a Dallas grandmother of
six and co-founder of the women’s anti-gun-control group Second
Amendment
Sisters, is patrolling the hallways of Capitol Hill, looking for targets
in
her war
against gun control. What better place to find her enemy, the
gun-control
lobbyists and lobby-ees, than in Washington, D.C., where Thompson has
traveled for a pro-gun rally? Her first sitting-duck target: Sen.
Barbara
Boxer
of California, as the gun-control advocate steps into the hallway after
a
Democratic Party hearing.

Thompson begins firing verbal salvos as she tails Boxer down the hall.
“I
would
appreciate it,” she says, “if you would keep your hands off my means of
protecting
myself when the occasion arises.” Thompson, a short firebrand, continues
shadowing the senator even as Boxer insists she isn’t trying to repeal
anyone’s
rights.

“Yes, you are!” a livid Thompson shoots back. “You know it, and I know
it!”

Boxer then stages a hasty retreat, losing her pursuer by ducking into
the
women’s restroom.
