Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy proposed Thursday to use an executive order to ban gun sales to those on federal no-fly watch lists.
The Democratic governor said state officials are working with the federal government to get access to the lists.
"If you cannot fly due to being on a government watch list, you should not be able to purchase a firearm while on that watch list as well," Malloy told reporters at the Capitol. "This is basic common sense. The American people get it."
The legislature and Malloy previously enacted gun limits that expanded the state's assault weapons ban and barred the possession and sale of large-capacity ammunition magazines following the Dec. 14, 2012, shooting deaths of 20 children and six educators at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

It wouldn’t have helped, and he knows that, and he doesn’t care. Keeping his citizens safe is secondary for him. Disarming you is more important.
If that happens cwii must happen.
They don’t care, they ignore courts when the courts don’t go their way.
And take away their pens and pencils. And use their living rooms for National Guardsmen sleeping quarters.
Amen and Amen!
Mohammed Rosenzweig? Really? LOL.

I am a Natural Born Law Abiding Citizen of the United States of America, can I get access to that List?
How quick they are to throw out Due Process and the Constitution. This is Tyranny in that anyone can be put on that list, no one knows how you get an that list or even more important how you get off.
This will be challenged in court and thrown out.
My comment at the article:
So what other rights can you deprive someone of, just by virtue of them being on a list? Can you give them a gag order? Or shut down their printing press? Quarter soldiers in their house? Search their house without a warrant?
Or, since the 2nd (keep and bear arms) and 5th (deprived of liberty without due process) amendments are out the window now, how about the 8th? Throw ‘em in jail with a bail of ten million dollars.
A real piece of work, this guy. He’s the governor that banned state travel to Indiana based on Indiana’s religious freedom law, essentially declaring war on Indiana. Congratulations, Connecticut! Take a bow!
Can we give this useless state back?
That site's fake. There is no "Terrorist Security Administration."
As you said, the real watchlist is secret and I somewhat doubt they're going to hand it over to Connecticut officials.
The people who maintain this list don't want it scrutinized.
great but that pattern suggest a fairly odd approach to asset acquisition. Yes Connecticut laws are awful but the question was can one even buy a gun in CT. I provided the answer.
How brilliant! did he pull this out of his a##?
I had to drive thru Connecticut recently...couldn’t wait to take a shower afterward. Ick.
I mostly buy used, and there were 3 Smiths of 50’s vintage that just happened to be there.
Colt Manufacturing of West Hartford, Sturm Ruger of the Southport section of Fairfield, O.F. Mossberg & Sons of North Haven, and Stag Arms of New Britain.
In the last couple of years, PTR has left. Ruger remains headquartered in Southport but does all it's manufacturing in New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Arizona. Freedom Group, the North Carolina manufacturer of gun brands like Remington and Bushmaster is gone. Eight days before the Sandy Hook shooting, the state Department of Economic and Community Development offered Freedom Group a $1 million low-interest loan to move its headquarters and 25 employees to Stamford. Less than a week after Sandy Hook, that deal fell through and the company never came to Connecticut.
It's part of the reason my grandkid didn't get a new Mossburg or Colt this year as well. Though he's quite happy with a Winchester shotgun like the one his granddad learned to shoot scatterguns with, and I think a WWII Inland M1911 .45 will suit him just as much as a Colt. And maybe, someday, a rebuilt Colt sixgun. But, likely, not a new one.
Not from Connecticut.

Flying isn’t a constitutional right.
