Statement by Gov. Perry on President Obama’s Executive Actions Wednesday, January 16, 2013 Austin, Texas

Press Release

 

Gov. Rick Perry released the following statement regarding President Obama's executive actions:

"The Vice President's committee was appointed in response to the tragedy at Newtown, but very few of his recommendations have anything to do with what happened there.

"Guns require a finger to pull the trigger. The sad young man who did that in Newtown was clearly haunted by demons and no gun law could have saved the children in Sandy Hook Elementary from his terror.

"There is evil prowling in the world - it shows up in our movies, video games and online fascinations, and finds its way into vulnerable hearts and minds. As a free people, let us choose what kind of people we will be. Laws, the only redoubt of secularism, will not suffice. Let us all return to our places of worship and pray for help. Above all, let us pray for our children.

"In fact, the piling on by the political left, and their cohorts in the media, to use the massacre of little children to advance a pre-existing political agenda that would not have saved those children, disgusts me, personally. The second amendment to the Constitution is a basic right of free people and cannot be nor will it be abridged by the executive power of this or any other president."

Saw that. Respect.

GOV PERRY FOR PRESIDENT 2016.

They do have their own electrical grid.

 

Wyoming already passed a law making it illegal to enforce any new federal firearms restrictions, including jail time for violators, including jail time for federal agents.

 

Texas has either done the same or is about to.

 

I think at least 5 states have this sort of legislation moving forward.  

 

In PA it has been proposed by Metcalfe but no bill number just yet.

 

Remember, several states already have Firearms Freedom Acts.

 

We are never going to fix the federal government.  Any good is going to come from the States.

Nice Job Texas and Wyoming -- I wonder were New Hampshire stands with all this - Got me a few acres there -- I know they supported Obama just like here

That's not good news

Has anyone heard from Az yet? I would think they'd be anti fed especially with people like Arpaio over there. It's where I want to retire.

Haven't heard anything from family and friends out there other than they think some of the other states are nuts and Obummer is an idiot. Nothing in regards to laws other than they feel they are fine now and don't want or need any changes.

Did you see the ad Texas put out to NY'ers? Law abiding New Yorkers welcomed in Texas. Bring your guns. Our unemployment is...

 

That took some serious balls. Texas is one of the few states I haven't been to yet. I really think I need to put Texas on my list of states to defect to in 11.5 years.

I am actively looking for a job in Texas. As soon as I get one, I'm outta this commie state.

Corpus Christie( sp?) I hear is real nice.

A number of states seem to be proposing penalties for anybody attempting to enforce federal gun laws. WY (done) TX, PA (infancy), KS (?), MI (wtf?), the list is growing. I think there are a few more. Of course, not every proposal becomes law but I think there is going to be a lot of it when the dust settles.
