The Watch List Gun Bans Begin: Obama Enlists Governors to Bypass Congress “By Executive Order” December 12, 2015 By Mac Slavo Now governors are abusing executive orders to trample on the 2nd Amendment as well. With strong resistance in Congress to gun control measures, Obama has taken to working outside his constitutional authority yet again. But he, his pen and his phone, are not alone this time. To bring teeth to his pending executive orders, President Obama is working to enlist the help of many of the state governors who he hopes will sign their own executive orders. To that end, Gov. Dannel Malloy in Connecticut is taking the first plunge in this end run around that pesky Constitution and Bill of Rights. Of course, Connecticut, home to the Sandy Hook shootings, has already seen its gun rights eviscerated: The Covert Guide to Concealed Carry (Ad) NBC Connecticut reports: Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy plans to sign the first executive order in the nation to ban the sales of guns to people on federal government watch lists. “We intend to prevent, by executive order through my powers as governor, those on government watch lists from obtaining a permit to purchase a firearm in Connecticut,” the Democratic governor said in a news conference Thursday. Anyone who wishes to buy a gun in Connecticut must first apply for a permit from a public safety agency, then a thorough background check is conducted, Malloy said. “The executive order would add an additional level of protection and require those who apply for a permit to be screened against government watch lists,” Malloy said during the news conference. It’s not clear how many people this executive order would cover, but the governor said he has reason to believe people living in the state are on watch lists and the state should be in a position to deny permits to those individuals. The state created some of the strictest gun laws in the country after 20 students and six educators were killed in a 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. Those laws banned assault weapons in Connecticut. Gov. Malloy also discussed his intent to take away legally purchased guns from owners on the watch list, as well, though others in Connecticut are already questioning his legal authority to do enact any of these policies. (See video here) As SHTF explained the other day, the federal No Fly terror watch list is one of the worst instruments that could possibly be used. Firstly, it is has never stopped a terrorist from acting, though some may have been identified ahead of time. But, more importantly, the No Fly watch list has put thousands of people on its list for reasons of mere suspicion alone – it is not based upon past crimes or direct accusations based on evidence. The practices for being added to the list are secretive, and there is virtually no way of appealing, or being taken off the list. That is despite the fact that many of the people on the No Fly list – who have been barred from getting on a plane and traveling – are on the list simply because they share a last name with a suspect, or a similar name. In short, it is a civil rights disaster that is fewer degrees away from Nazi Germany than it is from Kevin Bacon. Using this No Fly list to bar people from buying a gun – a constitutionally protected right – is compounding that problem and denying due process to Americans. Gov. Malloy has said that those who are denied will be able to appeal the decision, but nevertheless, it seems like something very close to this: (cue at :36 seconds) You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com Poster Comment: They can have my gun when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers. Gubernatorial executive orders have the same effect as Presidential orders, NONE!

Valerie Jarrett: Imposing More Gun Laws will Make US a “More Perfect Union”
Valerie Jarrett: Imposing More Gun Laws will Make US a “More Perfect Union” by Tim Brown The fact that anyone actually believes that gun control is a solution to criminal actions by individuals with guns is really laughable. Yet, the Marxists are always eager to take advantage of every crisis. This week, Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett attended and spoke at a vigil at Sandy Hook and later tweeted out the "ending gun violence" (aka imposing more gun restrictions) would lead to the united States being a "more perfect union." Jarrett, who spoke to those in attendance at St. Marks Episcopal Church on Wednesday, said that Hussein Obama was ready to act with illegal executive orders against the rights of gun owners and in defiance of the Second Amendment's protections if Congress was unwilling to pass more illegal legislation to restrict guns. She also said the administration was attempting to encourage states to implement infringements upon the rights of gun owners and impose stricter legislation. "We must continue to stand together in the face of cynical political failure," she said. Jarrett then tweeted out this little bit of nonsense: A more perfect union? Or do you mean a disarmed bunch of sheep Ms. Jarrett? It is ironic that Jarrett would use the Sandy Hook incident to push gun control, since recently Paul Preston said that officials inside the Obama Department of Education told him that the entire Sandy Hook incident was merely a drill and used to advance the Obama administration's gun grabbing agenda. Obama has said that the rest of his term in office, he will give "sustained attention" to attacking the Second Amendment. And there is no doubt that engineered shootings are a part of advancing his agenda. However, remember that under Barack Obama, more mass shootings and more mass murders have taken place than the previous four presidents combined! Additionally, now the administration is attempting to violate the Second Amendment rights of the people by keeping those on the no-fly list from purchasing guns. While some on that list may be violent criminals, some are not. Take for instance Pastor Chuck Baldwin. During his presidential run in 2008, he flew into San Antonio for a campaign stop and then upon leaving just 12 hours later, he found himself on the no-fly list for no apparent reason and all. "Two men dressed in full battle uniform, complete with body armor, Kevlar helmets, and M16 rifles walked up behind me," recounted Baldwin. "To make a long story short, after over an hour of interrogation and phone calls to 'upper management,' I was told I would be allowed to fly 'this time'." You can be sure that if that goes through, that a lot of individuals will find themselves on that list and will be targeted for gun confiscation and harassment. All federal gun laws are unconstitutional. Every. Single. One. And so are the agencies that enforce them. Obama, Jarrett and those supporting any of this anti-gun legislation or executive orders are engaging in treason against the people of the united States by disarming us before our enemies as they are allowing them to come in and even burdening us with debt to bring them here. They used to hang traitors. Sadly, in America today, they are tolerated. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
