In announcing his plan to sign an executive order that would deny issuance of gun permits to individuals on the U.S. government's “no-fly” list, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is once again positioning himself, and so Connecticut, as a leader in pursuing sensible gun restriction policies. And what could be more sensible than denying a person, judged so risky that he cannot get on an airplane, access to a deadly weapon?

"judged" by who ? Not actually adjudicated, so guilty until proven innocent ? Welcome to Amerika !
I'm sure some antigun government official would like to place the entire membership of the NRA on the watch list that nobody knows why they're on. Apply it to foreign nationals if you want to, but US citizens are SUPPOSED to have some rights !! |

| Publish the names on the no fly list. What is the secret? Maybe lawsuits for denial of due process? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
