As Connecticut is in the midst of a very serious situation regarding guns and gun registration, Governor Dannel Malloy attended a town meeting this week to address constituents at John Barry Elementary School in Meriden, Connecticut. During that event, a pro-gun citizen, who has opposed the legislation signed into law by Malloy, which requires gun owners to register their semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines or be considered felons, asked how Malloy could push legislation that is against law abiding gun owners while abolishing the death penalty and offered early release for violent criminals. Malloy’s answer was not to point to the State Constitution, but to point to the people’s desire to “feel safe.” In that respect, he told the questioner that the legislation regarding gun registration had gone through each branch of government and “your side lost.” In essence, Malloy said, “Get over it.”
Malloy told a constituent who asked about the constitutionality of the gun registration law, “One court has already decided… courts are where the constitutionality of these things are decided.”
“You’ve thrown that term around,” Malloy said with a smirk, speaking of the term “constitutional.” “It’s gone to the court, and guess what? You lost.”

Way to tamp down the rhetoric Governor.
“Constitution State” my ass.
Are you sure that’s Malloy? Looks a lot like Wayne LaPierre of the NRA.
Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Animal House got it right.
So, where are all the guns, Governor? If you won where’s your prize?
no more “land of the free”...we are also giving up control of internet.
Remind him that the courts also once ruled that it was acceptable for one man to own another as property.
Or that Black men and women weren’t citizens/people, because only people can carry guns around where they want, and no one would want Blacks with guns.
I was thinking the same thing...
The prize he won was about 300,000 pissed off citizens...and those are the just the gun owners..
I see a lot of current members of the "winning team" tossed out on their ass with their "prize"
Joe, that looks like Wayne LaPierre of the NRA.
That’s what I thought, too.
The Governor can claim that we may have lost.But the real losers will be the suckers who have to go and break down doors to confiscate those rifles.
I’d say to the Governor,Bring it on.
No recall laws in CT? Or do majority voters think like Gov. Malloy anyway?
“Courts don’t determine what is constitutional. We the People decide that.”
I agree. I think the people are going to have the last word.
Thanks.
Sad to see Ruger on that list!
I’m less partial to Marlin, Sharps and Winchester, but sad to see them there as well. Any of them leaving in protest?
He’s trying an ‘0bama.’ If he says it maybe it will become reality. The dummy doesn’t realize he doesn’t have enough melanin to pull it off.
Malloy will get what he paid for. He is losing big time.
I don’t know.
another Liberal moron who thinks winning elections is winning everything.
Freudian slip?
It is LaPierre.
