  • "The gun makes the people strong against those who want to do them wrong. The joint makes the people unbound for we are not the slaves of the crowned. Let us see past our differences and join as one, for we have the numbers to win this revolution which has begun."

  • yomamasapeach sounds so stupid Umm Switzerland its like a requirement for its people to have guns, and areas with Gun control have more crime from guns than ares w/o gun control even Gandhi was for it

  • AMericans have this ideology that shooting each other protects themselves. The thing is that countries which characterize guns as illegal and crack down on the sale have far less gun crimes because simply, no one has a gun. Sure, its the second amendment says you can have a gun and have a militia. This was a time when invasion was likely and the government was not so strong. 

  • PERRY IS A FUCKING TOOL!!

  • To the guy about junk food. Ppl make the choice to eat unhealthy therefore they are stupid. Deaths from obesity caused by over eating of junk food is society's way of weeding out the ppl that shouldn't reproduce in my opinion.

  • This guy is awesome. As for legalized concealed carry ... That is state regulated not federal. I live in Texas and have a CHL. Some states like California and New York are practically impossible to get a CHL. If you live in one of those states then take it up with your local government. If they won't do anything then move to another state.

  • Awesome!

  • you're asking a CONSERVATIVE from TEXAS if he's for gun control?? LOL Of COURSE he's gonna say yes!

  • @ democratsaresmart you're too stupid for words to discribe. Niether party has the welfare of the country and it's citizens at heart. Money runs the world. You're an ignorant waste of life.

  • Rick Perry has generally been fairly good about gun issues, but he isn't the only one running who is. Michele Bachmann has a pretty darn good record on that issue as well, and unlike Mr. Perry she doesn't plan on legalizing 20 million more reasons for you to have to need to carry...

  • He stole that from De La Soul

  • @Silents30 Stakes is High

  • @Silents30 that anecdote has been around for at least 100 years

  • That was fucking hilarious! Hahahah use both hands! Don't shoot like a muthafucking gangsta.

  • It is very interesting. Those for Gun Control don't realize it is the guns that are keeping them safe. And, while I support the police there are just not enough of them to protect the 300 million people in the US. Unfortunately, even if conceal carry was allowed in all States only about 2-3 percent of Americans would feel comfortable carrying a gun. While that is not a lot, it is still deterrence.

  • its funny the founding fathers used to get wasted & they packed heat all the time, yet today in this liberal F**** nation of idiots they blame the legal rational law abiding gun owners for every crime, and yet they dont want to pursue the only thing that would scare the hell out of criminals, THE DEATH PENALTY", oh excuse me, also a lawfully undividual with a carry weapon & permit for the legal bs that follows a legal blasting of bad guys

  • Guns dont kill people, people kill people. I have the right to own my guns, and protect myself if there is a criminal in my home. I will give you ONE warning, you take one step after that and I am firing. 95% of firearms used in crimes are illegally purchased. You take guns away from responsible owners like us, and you just give criminals the advantage. What am i going to do? Chase after them in a spatula? Perry 2012!!!! Get the liberal dipshit out of the white house!!!

  • I love my Governor. He has passed more pro self defense laws than any other governor before him (possibly combined). He believes in the human right to self defense and self preservation. PERRY 2012

  • The Gov been usin' that line for a while. Notice the audience knew what the answer was gonna be.

  • ya'll buyin' this shit? he totally doged the question.

    I like obama, not for his views but his honesty. he said to mmj patients he would work on gettin the feds to back off them and he did. he talks agianst guns and he's been that way. agian I don't agree w/his views on gun right but atleast he doesn't bs the public like perry does. The question was a yes or no one and he just doged it.

  • @assman255 Please tell me you actually listened to this clip? And if you are actually open-minded like I was in 2008, you'll see that Perry is FOR the 2nd Amendment (Gun Rights if your not up on the Constitution).

    If I remember there was an incident when Perry was out jogging with his dog and a coyote or fox came at them and he.... (Wait for it) pulled out his pistol and shot the predator. So, I guessing he is for gun rights. Your mind is a parachute, open it up and it'll work!

  • @assman255 You are trolling or an idiot.

    Laws, any law, will only control people who OBEY laws.

    Criminals have already decided to break the law, do you really believe that putting a law on the books will magically make gun violence go away?

    Seriously; "Gun free zone"s? Like a shooter is going to walk up to a campus, see the gun free zone sign and say "aww shucks, I can't shoot here, it's not allowed".

    Right, anyone else notice all the school shootings occurred in supposed "gun free zone"s?

  • winning

  • well, he is pro gun control, they all are

  • Comment removed

  • I really hate conservatives. But every once in awhile, I can agree with them on something. The gun control issue being one of them.  Great answer rick. I'm still not going to vote for you; but your answer did bring a smile to my face.

  • Now, no matter your politics, you have to laugh at Gov. Perry's subtlety when answering an obvious question on gun control. I couldn't agree with him more!

  • @koach777 I have no problem laughing at Rick Perry. I just hope he does not become President.

  • @lemonrind Should it be taken you want four more years of socialistic governance? I have met Gov. Perry (and that does NOT mean I'll vote for him) and I much prefer his views rather than the current resident in the White House. That said, Pres. Obama is ruining the country. And whether Dem or Rep, one would have to be blinded by party loyalty not to see we are in trouble. And.... it's no longer Bush's fault. Obama owns this one!!!

  • @koach777 "Should it be taken you want four more years of socialistic governance?"

    Yes.

  • @lemonrind Not no, But HELL NO!!! Thats why Obama's gotta go!!!

  • Wit among the mouth-breathers.  Yaay.

  • Irony = Guns are legal, Switch Blades remain illegal

    Right to carry laws should be a Liberal agenda, how did this issue get distorted?

    The more rights the better

  • @nutt66 You have the right to remain silent.

  • @nutt66 Because Liberals are only interesting in redistributing (read - stealing) your money, so they prefer you to be unarmed so you can't put up a fight.

  • @nutt66 Liberals are not about giving you rights. Their main purpose is to take your liberty and give to the Bigger Government. The meaning of the term Liberal has changed from what it used to be. That word has been hijacked by Progressives and they use it interchangeably.

  • @nutt66 If they care so much about our safety, maybe they should ban junk food. Guns & knives didn't cause the obesity epidemic. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America. I think they ought to fully legalize switch-blades for any adult, as well as brass knuckles. Nobody got Type 2 Diabetes from either of those.

  • @qwexas Nobody gets type 2 diabetes from rocket launchers, nuclear weapons, or chemical weapons, either; that doesn't mean we should legalize it for the general public.

    But I still think they should legalize conceal carry of weapons. Criminals or thugs will conceal carry weapons regardless of the law, so make it legal for the rest of us to defend ourselves if the need arises.

  • @nutt66 hey nutt, do you know anything about the 2nd amendment? Probably not, since you think it covers switchblades.

  • @1Joyeux learn to read

  • @nutt66 Hey nutt job, Irony does not equal "guns are legal, switch blades remain illegal."

    The only irony here is your ignorance of what irony means. 

  • @1Joyeux Do YOU know anything about the 2nd Amendment? It doesn't say "guns", it says "arms."

  • @TheSherminator64 Virtually every SCOTUS interpretation of the 2nd Amendment language "bear arms" expressly defines this as the right to possess and use firearms.

    So unless your knife fires bullets, it isn't covered by the second amendment. Similarily, anyone can arm themselves with a brick at a riot, but bricks don't fall under the 2nd amendment.

    Educate yourself before "thinking" you know something.

  • @1Joyeux Fine you win this round. However most reasonable people view "bear arms" as "having weapons." So I still disagree with you and them.

    I appreciate "So unless your knife fires bullets" comment. Congratulations on making me laugh.

  • @TheSherminator64 Not many people can handle criticism very well, but you have, which says a lot about your character. Finding humor in just about any situation is a good trait to have. Your kindness is killing me here!
