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?

| Apparently, the writer has no clue about the 5th Amendment. |

"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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
