That's me, Terry Rea, shown above walking up the center aisle in Richmond’s City Council chambers, after speaking in favor of increased control of handguns. That particular 1985 moment, documented by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, was when I figured out why more politicians aren’t willing to buck up to the National Rifle Association on gun regulation issues. It's like, hey, they will shoot you!
Months later, in the 3rd Street Diner, when I told former-City Council representative Willie Dell about my epiphany at City Hall, she chuckled at what had been my naiveté and said, "Of course."
Yes, of course.
