With strong resistance in Congress to gun control <http://www.dcclothesline.com/2015/12/11/valerie-jarrett-obama-finalizing-more-gun-control-executive-actions/> measures, Obama has taken to working outside his constitutional authority yet again. But he, his pen and his phone, are not alone this time. To bring teeth to his pending executive orders, President Obama is working to enlist the help of many of the state governors who he hopes will sign their own executive orders. To that end, Gov. Dannel Malloy <http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/03/16/ct-governor-dannel-malloy-gun-owners-side-lost-get/> in Connecticut is taking the first plunge in this end run around that pesky Constitution and Bill of Rights. Of course, Connecticut, home to the Sandy Hook shootings, has already seen its gun rights eviscerated: *NBC Connecticut* <http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Governor-Expected-to-Make-Major-Public-Safety-Announcement-361438091.html> reports: *Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy plans to sign the first executive order in the nation to ban the sales of guns to people on federalgovernment 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 Connecticut,” the Democratic governor said in a news conference Thursday.* Anyone who wishes to buy 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 the news conference.* It’s not clear how many people this executive order would cover, but the governor said *he has reason to believe people living in the state are on watch lists and the state should be in a position to deny permits to those individuals.* The state created some of the strictest gun laws in the country after 20 students and six educators were killed in a 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. Those laws banned assault weapons in Connecticut. Gov. Malloy also discussed his intent to take away legally-purchased guns from owners on the watch list <http://www.dcclothesline.com/2015/12/06/here-he-goes-again-obama-says-its-insane-for-millions-of-americans-on-watchlists-to-own-guns/>, as well, though others in Connecticut are already questioning his legal authority to do enact any of these policies. *(See video here <http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Governor-Expected-to-Make-Major-Public-Safety-Announcement-361438091.html>)* As *SHTF explained the other day, the federal No Fly terror watch list* <http://www.shtfplan.com/conspiracy-fact-and-theory/obamas-no-fly-no-buy-violates-2nd-and-5th-amendments-a-secret-list-to-bar-gun-sales_12082015> is one of the worst instruments that could possibly be used*. Firstly, it is has never stopped a terrorist from acting, though some may have been indentified ahead of time.* But, more importantly, the No Fly watch list <http://www.dcclothesline.com/2015/12/09/obamas-no-fly-no-buy-violates-2nd-and-5th-amendments-list-uses-secret-criteria-to-violate-2nd-amendment/> has put thousands of people on its list for reasons of mere suspicion alone – it is not based upon past crimes or direct accusations based on evidence. The practices for being added to the list are secretive, and there is virtually no way of appealing, or being taken off the list. That is despite the fact that many of the people on the no fly list – who have been barred from getting on a plane and traveling – are on the list simply because they share a last name with a suspect, or a similar name. In short, it is a civil rights disaster that is fewer degrees away from Nazi Germany than it is from Kevin Bacon. Using this No Fly list to bar people from buying a gun – a constitutionally protected right – is compounding that problem and denying due process <http://www.dcclothesline.com/2015/12/09/obamas-no-fly-no-buy-violates-2nd-and-5th-amendments-list-uses-secret-criteria-to-violate-2nd-amendment/>to Americans. Gov. Malloy has said that those who are denied will be able to appeal the decision. *Courtesy of SHTFplan.com <http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/by-executive-order-obama-enlists-governors-to-bypass-congress-on-no-fly-no-buy_12112015>* http://americac2c.com/?xg_source=msg_mes_network __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmcWt0Ymc0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0NDk5NDEzOTI-> [image: Yahoo!
