Connecticut Governor to Ban Gun Sales to People on Govt. Watch List

[Special Ed]

I just don't believe this arsehole is doing this. No...wait...yes, yes I do believe he's doing it.

Soooo...it's ok to assume guilt until proven innocent for people on a government watch list but not those coming from countries where terrorists are known to originate. In other words, guilty until proven innocent is ok as long as it's the Democrats who get to choose. That's the message here.


Let me remind everyone that the late Senator Ted Kennedy was on the No Fly list. I wonder if he would support what the CT Governor is suggesting. Would make more sense to ban Kennedy from renting cars but that's another matter altogether.

Excerpt:

"We intend to prevent, by executive order through my powers as governor, those on government watch lists from obtaining a permit to purchase a firearm in Connecticut," the Democratic governor said in a news conference Thursday.

"The executive order would add an additional level of protection and require those who apply for a permit to be screened against government watch lists," Malloy said during the news conference.

The governor is seeking access to some federal watch lists and his executive order would prevent anyone on them from buying a handgun, shotgun, rifle or ammunition in the state.
People who are denied would have the option to appeal.

"I have been in touch with the White House directly on this matter and we are working with federal authorities to gain access to their lists for this purpose," Malloy said.

He said his administration is working with the federal government to determine the appropriate lists to be included — from the no-fly list to a combination of those who should not have weapons.

The governor said the executive order will take effect as soon as he receives federal approval to obtain the lists.

"If approved, we will sign an executive order. We will take action. Like all Americans, I've been horrified by the recent terrorist attacks in California and Paris. This should be a wake-up call for all of us. This is a moment to seize here in America, and today, I am here to say in Connecticut, we are seizing this moment," Malloy said.

He's not wrong about seizing the moment.

Well, one of JugEars jizz swizzlers just outed hisself.

Treasonous bastards.

This is turning into a country that I don't want my son to grow up in. That is tyranny at it's finest.

It plays well in liberal enclaves like the east coast. Lets see if the media runs with the story , when his daughter in law gets turned away at the United Express gate .

The real problem is America (in general) wants to feel safe. Unfortunately they want to .gov to tuck them in at night, instead of taking the safety of their family upon them self.
Until the federal .gov gets serious about illegals, open borders and keeping middle eastern "refugees" who just happen to be male, military age Muslims out of here. The notion of no-fly / no-buy is fuckied.

The other part of this equation conveniently ignored is, that silly Denied without Due Process.
Once "we" are comfortable with it. WE will wake up to find the 2nd has been gutted in the name of National Security.

I see a court challenge in CT's future.

[TFOGGER]

Yup, and given the level of accuracy on the No Fly list (~20% of people on the list were placed on it in error), it'll happen sooner rather than later. Maybe this would be a good thing, because it might lead to a challenge of the whole no fly list, and the process whereby one ends up on it.

[68Charger]

Does that mean the 72 people within DHS that are on the list can't carry within CT?

or is that the watch list vs the "no fly" list?

how many DHS employees are on the "no fly" list?

[HoneyBadger]

Meh. Who needs Due Process anyway??

[Great-Kazoo]

The intelligence and moral outrage of the left is beyond staggering.

REMEMBER
The same people who condemn Stop and Frisk because they feel it's racial profiling

Have No Issue denying a person their right to own a firearm, based on some arbitrary program.
