Connecticut Governor To Sign Executive Order Banning Gun Sales To Americans On "Watchlists" - Live Feed
Gov. Dannel Malloy plans to sign the first executive order in the nation to ban the sales of guns to people on government watch lists.
"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 Conecticut," Malloy said.
Anyone who wishes to get a gun in Connecticut must first apply for a permit from a public safety agency, then a thorough background check is conducted, Malloy said.
"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 a news conferenence on Thursday afternoon.
Assault weapons are already banned in Connecticut and this executive order would prevent anyone on a government watch list from buying a handgun, shotgun, rifle or ammunition in the state.
"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 administratiion 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.
"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 wakeup 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.

Just another hack politician looking to make a name for himself and go on to sell a book.
This is one way to get a cushy federal job after your term as governor is up.
Doubt he has much chance of a cushy job under President Trump though no doubt he is preening his feathers for hopeless hillary, showing he is ever ready to disregard the constititution.
Make a donation to Hillary's campaign. Join the Sierra Club and PETA. Become a vegetarian. Buy a used Prius with a faded vintage "Got Hope?" bumper sticker still on the back. Buy some Google stock. You'll be fine.
"Buy some Google stock."
I read that Google, Schmidt mentioned it, is going to use algorithms to filter out White voices that don't fit the J-Tribe's agenda.

Muslims exempted of course. You cannot infringe on their religious right to commit jihad.
Jihad - isn't that 'practicing their religion?'
Just wondering - if the Supreme Court upholds an Illinois law banning assault weapons - and if the U.S. itself had a nationwide ban for a while - then why does this clown think he can get a ban by executive order tied to a mystery list? Why not get legislatures and city boards to try to pass this crap law - so that those who vote for it get to end their political careers?

nope, don't see guns on there...what's all the hub-bub mr governor...is it you are pushing an agenda against a virtually non-existent problem?
(gun deaths of all types including suicides, defensive shootings, etc... around 30k)
Too bad Homeland Security has people who support the Second Amendment and are opposed to massive immigration from the 3rd World, as well as military veterans on their TERROR LIST.
In fact DHS went so far as to say that the greatest terror threat was from WHITE PEOPLE, not muslims.
Review of 'The Culture of Critique'
Too bad White people supported all this garbage after the Towers came down. Fuck them, they deserve their fate.
Every American with common sense knew where "terror lists" would inevitably lead to and were pleading with their fellow citizens to not go along with it. The American Citizen was the target from the very beginning.
What a fucking moron. I'm gonna laugh when one of his bodyguards gets pissed off because he tries to buy new gun and discovers he's on some watchlist.
This dumb fuck doesn't know that the US Bill of Rights was incorporated into all States' Constitutions after the Civil War. That's why no State can write a Constitution or laws that restrict our freedom of speech, due process, etc etc.
And guess what, the 2nd amendment can't be excluded. HAHAHAHAHA!
Conn. residents should just ignore the prick.
He'll get re-elected at least five times for this one.
I think he's just given Trump meat for a few more days of media dominance, tying this chump to Obama.
When was it legal for anybody not convicted for anything that placed him/her on the No-Fly list that makes it possible for that person be denied his Constitution rights as defined under amendments 5 and 6 of the Bill of Rights?
It isn't.
American Constitution promotes Terrorism
Amendment II
As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, then-Secretary of State:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
---------------------- America promotes terrorism America is a terrorist stateThe Supreme Court's refusal has only delayed the inevitable, but at least the lawyers have work.
To those on "watchlists"? That is just about everybody I think.
DOOES ANYONE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THIS LIST CAN BE FOUND OR DO THEY JUST MAKE IT UP?
