Connecticut to limit access to guns for people on watch lists: governor [View all]
Connecticut to limit access to guns for people on watch lists: governor
Connecticut would become the first U.S. state to ban the sale of guns to people on government watch lists under an executive order that Governor Dannel Malloy, a Democrat, said on Thursday he will sign.
The measure, which Malloy said needs federal approval, would require state police to review whether a potential gun buyer was on the federal no-fly list or on a watchlist for people suspected of ties to terrorism.
It would also revoke existing gun permits issued to people whose names were found on such a list.

When did Democrats change from opposing Republican unconstitutional rights violations to expanding them? These list were illegal from the day they were conceived and are just as wrong today.
