Yes, and it's possible he could call a special session--at a cost to taxpayers of approximately $36,000/day--to reopen the debate over which dinosaur should be the official "State Dinosaur of Texas," but he's not going to do that either.

Special sessions cost a lot of money. Holding a special session JUST for gun issues would not only be unprecedented; it would be political suicide. Doing so would piss off both diehard fiscal conservatives and anyone who isn't a diehard supporter of gun rights. Perry would end his political career as a laughing stock throughout the rest of the country and as a pariah here in Texas.
