"No Gunshows on Dallas City Property, We Have Too Many Guns" - Laura Miller

WBAP ^ | 1-17-01 | Redbob

I just heard this on WBAP in Dallas, at about 10:45 AM; Mark Davis was having a candidates' forum with mayoral candidate and city councilwoman Laura Miller and two others. A caller asked about gunshows on city property, and Laura was vehemently opposed to gunshows in the convention center or on any other city property.
She even went so far as to say she thought there are "two many guns." !!
After she left, Mark Davis remarked he thought that comment would ruin her in this election - and I hope so!

[Redbob]

OK, now how do I link this to the
'Bang List' ?

I hope so too!

No, Mzzzz Miller, you have too many criminals in Dallas. Deal with that first. Until then and even afterwards, keep the honest citizenry armed and well stocked.

[John Jorsett]

I assume she's a Democrat. What's her background? Has she held elective office in Texas before?

[coloradan]

You just put"bang_list" in the to: field, and FR adds the splat.

[TADSLOS]

She's a goner, good riddance. She's also made some stupid remarks about veterans events.

[glock rocks]

[FreeTally]

Uh oh! You had better not tell texans that they have "too much" or "too big of a..." anything!

Just one more reason to thank God that I now live in Tarrant County.

Listening to the program. After the candidates left Davis asked for callers and what their views were. Several called to say that they are NO LONGER Miller supporters due to her statement on guns and gun shows. These callers WILL be voting for another candidate.

[coloradan]

Yep. But look! No * <- splat. Sometimes its there, sometimes not.

I hear her say it too. My thought was: "Fergit getting elected in Dallas, lady". I also hear Gonzales(?) say that he has a concealed carry permit.

Mark Davis is also a bafoon. He is wrong on many many issues, especially his support for sending Elian Gonzales to the Communist Gulag.

It's said that Ft. Worth is where the West begins..Dallas is where the East peters out. :)

Laura Miller is a Dallas city councilwoman.

Her husband is Democrat State Senator Steve Wolens. She said, in this debate, that she voted for Gore and that she thinks there are "too many guns" and therefore Dallas city facilities should not be used for gun shows.

She has an eight-point lead over Tom Dunning, a Bush supporter and the candidate of the Dallas Business Council.

That lead could evaporate quickly. Callers after the debate who had supported Miller were jumping off her ship right and left.

Regardless, there will be a run-off, and Dunning ought to hammer Miller with this gun show statement and her support for Gore.

What's a "bafoon"? Do you mean "buffoon"?

Davis is an opinionated talk show host with the highest rating, in his time slot, of anybody in the history of talk radio in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex.

I don't agree with his positions on cameras in the courtroom (he wants them, in every courtroom, for every case) or early voting (he's against it) and a few others.

But there's simply nobody else worth listening to in DFW.
