Statement by Gov. Perry on President Obama’s Executive Actions
Office of the Governor, Texas ^ | January 16, 2013 | Rick Perry

Posted on 01/16/2013 1:06:20 PM PST by thackney

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."

“I wonder if the Republic of Texas is interested in expanding its borders?”

Let Texas reach all the way to the Ohio River...

“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.”

Amen to that! Go Gov. Perry!

We had trolls from DU and slick infiltrators from the Soros group and obuma’s campaign, trashing Perry.

They did their dirty work and are no longer posting on FR, yet we still have a handful of their useful idiots justifying their stupidity.

They weren't trolls from DU. They were Palin supporters who viewed Perry as a threat to her non-candidacy and many are still posting here.

"disgusts" is much too mild a word.

It nauseated me. Thought I was going to hurl.

His mother rest her soul left weapons out knowing there was a mental health problem!

I don't believe we know how he got his hands on her weapons. She certainly had an interesting mix for a woman living in that location.
