Perry is in a tough spot.....if he doesn't add gun issues to the special session, then Dewhurst's political career is finished and Perry loses Tea Party support to Abbott. If he does add gun issues, he loses Strauss' influence in the House and stirs up the ire of the establishment Republicans who are trying to keep on the moderate nat'l GOP's good side....something he needs for his next POTUS run.

In true Perry form, I'll bet he doesn't add it....and hope TX voters forget his hypocracy (remember his speech to the NRA Convention) by 2014.....as it worked for him in 2008.
