1. Trump is corrrect

Perry with glasses is just as stupid as Perry without glasses.

[volstork]

40. Clearly

he is unaware that he looks like a complete douchbag (with or without the glasses...)

[Jamaal510]

49. Finally something

I agree with him on.

[onehandle]

2. But he's wearing glasses. People who wear glasses are always right.

Hell, I wear glasses.

Wait...

[Initech]

25. I always like this scene on the Simpsons:

Homer finds a pair of glasses that were dropped in the toilet and puts them on:

"The sum of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the sum of the square root of the remaining side."
"That's a right triangle you idiot!"
"D'OH!!!!!"

[LynneSin]

35. He makes me quit wanting to wear my glasses

So people don't think I'm trying to fake my intelligence or something.

BTW I really only need them when I'm driving or seeing things far away.

[zebonaut]

3. Europe is doing a Face Palm. Its just so Embarrassing to be an American

[3catwoman3]

13. Much as I love traveling, I am...

...rather glad I am not abroad just now.

[libodem]

4. The glasses

Can't hide the fact that he is stoned. Look.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

57. the glasses

were intended to make him look smarter.
Guess it is time for plan B.

[libodem]

58. Willfully Ignorant

Always such a waste. Or wasted.

[valerief]

5. A gun in the theater made the shooting possible, so more guns in the

theater would make the shooting...inevitable? I can't understand Perry's "logic."

[LevelB]

6. #glassesfail

[Skittles]

7. gun humpers are not known for their intellect

dumb as fence posts

[daleanime]

52. +1

Do these asshats even think about what they are saying? That idea "makes a lot of sense"? I can just see watching a 3D movies and when something leaps out at the audience, some butthole pulling out his gun because he felt threatened by the movie.
Of course, Perry had the luxury of private screenings for his movie experiences. I wonder when, or if, he's ever been in a movie theater where there is a bunch of people talking, cell phones going off, or the guy sitting next to you is drunk out of his mind.

[Big Vincenz]

19. juggling 12 loaves

lol

[underpants]

54. Thank you Tapper now read the TelePrompTer Dino can pander some more

Yes Govermor, I will proceed.

[Plucketeer]

9. I'd be willing to bet this makes PERFECT SENSE

within the confines of conservative craniums!

[tclambert]

15. What he really wants in that theater is Randolph Scott

[bucolic_frolic]

10. And of course

people want to spend their time in the movie theater

watching the others in the audience for the first sign of
a weapon being pulled

Every cell phone check looks like the first move of a massacre in the dark

11. I actually like Rick Perry.

He makes my Florida Governor look almost intelligent.

[LynneSin]

36. I could find a lump of vegetable matter that could make your governor look almost intelligent

just saying....

[NoMoreRepugs]

12. Rick Perry - JeanYuss

damn the bar is low to be a GOP Presidential contender

[tclambert]

14. The glasses make him look smart, but his mouth makes him sound stupid.

The glasses aren't strong enough to counteract his mouth.

[63splitwindow]

31. Yeah, sometimes the underlying personality just cannot be overcome--- for example...

[link:|

[awoke_in_2003]

60. The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound

which explains why some can look intelligent until they open their mouths.

[AlbertCat]

16. Yeah.... the glasses still aren't working....

Hey if we all had bazookas at the theatre, then we'd really be safe! Right? I mean, that makes sense.

[sofa king]

21. Worse than that, he's making ME look stupid now.

We need to start a campaign to get him to stop wearing glasses, on behalf of not-stupid people everywhere.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. No problem when bullets bounce off....

[Zambero]

28. Aha, bulletproof glasses!

They also filter out common sense and good judgment.

[yuiyoshida]

18. The disturbing look on the CNN host

says it all.

[Duval]

20. RP is bat stuff NUTS! nt

[lame54]

22. The theaters should sell guns at the concession stand - that way...

they can kick out anybody that brings their own in

[LynnTTT]

23. Can't even find my seat...

If I have to leave my seat during a movie, I count the number of rows from the door, or I'd never find my seat again! And I read that the shooter in LA simply sat down and the women he killed were right in from of him. They didn't have a chance. Wouldn't have mattered of they each had five guns.

[tanyev]

24. Did you run that past any big shots in the movie industry, Ricky?

I doubt they'd be very enthusiastic about yet another reason for people to stay home and wait until new releases are available by streaming or DVD.

[Initech]

26. Yeehaw!!!! Let's just make America like the wild west and make dueling legal!

[applegrove]

27. Then the police arrive and don't know who the shooter is because nobody does.

Meanwhile a firefight has broken out between bystanders with guns.

[63splitwindow]

29. At his country club bar and grill...

where half-in-the-bag members get into idiotic arguments about everything from the rules of golf to the club's budget are they all packin' heat ready to be deployed at all times? Now that I think about it----- I HOPE SO
[link:|

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

30. If this is an example Perry's critical thinking skills

he just disqualified himself from being President.

How could anyone believe that they would correctly identify a criminal with a gun in a dark theater from other patrons with guns?

[rladdi]

32. Rick Perry comments and others from the GOP and NRA is most embarrassing to the American

People. Do these Republicans really have brains to think with? All they suggest is to have more guns to stop mass killings, this is insane. Its like pouring gasoline on a fire to put it out. When will the American people wake up to the this failed party. They are doing everything to win the White House. If they do, it will be destruction of America and its people. We just need to view what the Republicans are doing in the states to see they have totally destroyed many of the states, The budgets, educations, voting rights. healthcare and many others.
They are only the voice for a few multi billionaires who don't care about America, the people, the land, water and air. Most make their millions on the pollutions they cause.

PLEASE VOTERS WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

[TrollBuster9090]

33. The Solution is to Arm All The Moviegoers. Pass Out The Pistols On The Way In, And Collect Them

on the way out.

Just hand out the pistols as you collect the ticket stubs, and collect them on the way out. Just like a COAT CHECK stand.

[d_legendary1]

34. Several problems with this

1. If someone brings and assualt rifle and it blocks my view of the movie...

2. Someone starts to get turned on by their weapon and accidentally discharges...

3. Those seats are uncomfortable already. Can't keep my gun on my side or on my back....

4. Holding seats for someone when they go to the bathroom could get pretty risky...

5. What happens if the movie has a shooting scene?

There are more questions than answers and I don't think guns can solve the issue.

[LynneSin]

37. I was hoping to go back to Austin and SXSW festival again

but honestly, I really am starting to think that for my safety this is not a good idea. I'm really truly fearful that one drunk in a bar is going to start shooing a gun and next thing you know the other drunks are going to start shooting their guns. And yes I know this is Austin and it's suppose to be a progressive town but there are always a few village idiots in there that have to have their guns.

[The Jungle 1]

38. Birth certificate? Ok how about a script for them glasses

I want to see this clowns medical prescription for those glasses.

Years and years we heard about a birth certificate. Turn about is fair play even for stupidity.

[czarjak]

39. IQ test, Rickie....

Remember?

[Thor_MN]

41. He looks so... lifelike.

I've seen week dead corpses that look better than that photo. Whoever did his makeup was a funeral home drop out.

[erpowers]

42. Hard to Determine Who Started the Shooting

It seems like it would be hard to determine who started the shooting. If a person stands up and starts shooting in a movie theater and then other people start shooting it seems the original shooter can try to claim he was just shooting at the original shooter. It seems like it could be hard to prove the shooter is lying.

In addition, since many gun owners are not accurate shooters there could be a situation in which the person who tried to stop the shooter does more harm than the shooter. We have all likely seen video of police officers shooting off dozens of rounds and missing their target, or only hitting their target once. Why wouldn't the same situation, or a worse situation happen with civilians? If a person kills multiple people while trying to stop a shooting how will he police handle that situation? Do they arrest the person who tried to stop the shooting and charge the person with murder, or manslaughter? If they do not how do the families of those killed get justice?

[tclambert]

45. "Many gun owners are not accurate shooters" explains why we need automatic weapons.

When you're not a good shot, just pray and spray.

[L0oniX]

43. ^..^

[avebury]

44. Given how expensive it can be to go to the movie

theater in the first place, allowing them to turn into the OK Corral isn't going to help their earnings. There are a lot alternative options for watching movies and, as the purchasing power of the masses continues to decline, alternatives will look better and better.

[DhhD]

46. The glasses are there to cover his ugly, very wrinked mug. Without the hair

color, he would look 86 years old.

Old Good Hair Tries Again!

[liberal N proud]

47. The problem with Rick Perry is that he believes what he says.

[drm604]

48. Let's think this through.

A bunch of would be vigilante moviegoers are packing. A maniac, God forbid, stands up and starts shooting innocent people. I stand up with my gun ready to take action. I look around and notice numerous others standing up holding guns. Now I'm thinking... "are these other guys heroes like me, or accomplices?", and they're all thinking the same thing about me and all the others, and we're in a dark theater full of panicked people. People are firing and all we can see are muzzle flashes. Who do we shoot? How good is our aim?

Is all this really making the situation better?

Hell, all a terrorist would have to do is set off a firecracker and we could all end up shooting each other for him.

[oberliner]

53. One would think that would be obvious

It's unfathomable that a supposedly rational human being could think otherwise.

[Sam_Fields]

50. A Nuclear bomb in every household.

Will protect us all.

[NewJeffCT]

51. I think my friend hit it right here...

[Javaman]

55. cement head perry: live action homer simpson.

[Sam1]

56. Would give a whole new meaning to the term Shooting gallery.

[LeftinOH]

59. Do people in other countries have conversations like this?

NO THEY DO NOT. People in other countries (even the shitty ones) don't even entertain the idea of taking loaded guns into movie theaters.

This is your "American exceptionalism" right here: Deliriously stupid public dialogue.

[drm604]

62. Tell me about it.

I am so embarrassed for my country sometimes.
