Connecticut Citizens Defense League Addresses Governor Malloy’s Impending Executive Action to Deny Firearms Purchases and Firearms Seizures.
Groton, CT – -(Ammoland.com)- The Connecticut Citizens Defense League is speaking out against Governor Malloy’s executive order seizing firearms and denying purchases to individuals who are on secret Federal Government “lists“.
Comment from CCDL President Scott Wilson:
“Governor Malloy is planning to take what is in our view unconstitutional executive action that would prohibit firearms purchases and seize firearms of individuals who have not been indicted or convicted for any crime. While we are all concerned about terrorism, this approach is very un-American and shameful”.
Wilson Added:
“Governor Malloy has gone even further into the deep end than ever before. His planning on denying purchases and likely seizing firearms of individuals are on a list that have not been charged or convicted of any wrongdoing is antithetical to every value that this country was founded on. There are millions of people on these lists, many who are not criminals or terrorists, and do not belong on it”.
“Seizing firearms from individuals would be a clear violation of ‘due process’ under the 14th amendment of our constitution, and i have a hard time envisioning a judge appointed by the state of Connecticut who would issue a warrant to search and seize when the federal Government has not even done so in a wide-spread manner. Even the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has recognized that these lists are inaccurate, unconstitutional, and unfairly target Muslims and people of color Since the governor does not have access to these federal “lists“, my hope at this point is the feds will analyze Governor Malloy’s intent and decline access. This is very scary to think that police will be showing up to houses to seize firearms from people that may have done nothing wrong. It spells serious trouble”.
“The governor of Connecticut has pushed the envelope to beyond extreme by treating citizens of the United States in this manner. I hope people realize that this pattern of abuse is how totalitarian governments operate”.
Wilson Finished:
“CCDL will not rule out any legal course of action to halt this imminent Executive Action”

The reason I ESCAPED the unconstitution state is Malloy and his ilk..Connecticut is becoming a wellfare sesspool with a steady diet of commie demoRats running the asylum. I love Tennessee! The CCDL was recently formed to combat SB 1160 and other legislation post Sandy Hook. They are doing what they can, but malloy is doing the same thing as obummer with illegal executive actions Then CCDL has to fight the actions in a demoRat controled court. Meanwhile they continue to release criminals early from prison and have eliminated the death penalty..Dangerous place for my family and friends to continuue living..I… Read more »
Methinks the people are sick and tired of all the ‘Provincialism’.
Their job is to try and take them. My job is kill them. Bring it on Malloy. I have no job ,no family, no house. So I have nothing earthly to lose.
If the CCDL is so effective at lobbying to prevent the state of Connecticut from implementing unconstitutional gun laws, then why does Connecticut have the strict gun laws they presently have? And, considering that Sandy Hook is a sham, why haven’t they pushed for a thorough investigation by a third party? Most of these organizations, like CCDL) are designed to “COMPROMISE” with government bureaucraps, not stop their tyranny!
These are the manufacturers of what happen at Sandy Hook elementary in CT. With all the dozens of discrepancies that are all over youtube incidentally.. One would in fact have to be deaf dumb & blind to believe their rendition of what happen that day. And believe that it wasn’t just a ploy to render Americans disarmed and defenseless to their tyranny. Just exactly like what was used in the UK and Australia in their gun bans. Please wake up fellow Americans, time and your non action is closing the door on all of our freedoms.
Did this directive come from a covert ‘think tank’ deep in the bowels of the Democrat Party? They’re all nuts and their Secret Squirrel Society thrives on ‘secret lists’ that circumvent your “due process”. Being on the “Do Not Fly List” does not mean you’re a criminal. This is just something they dreamed up to do a ‘gag job’ on anybody they fear.
No where in the Constitution does it say Secret action or lists are ok.
LOOKS like to me that WE THE PEOPLE should take action against this dem and get rid of HIM!!
IMPEACH OR RECALL HIM WHAT EVER IT TAKES GET rid of this person .WHO does not believe in the CONSTITUTION. THE ONLY WAY show him what the people power eeall MEANS don’t wast any more time..You have everything to loose !!!
The time to stop these ignorant commie wantabees is overdo, Every democrRAT holding any office needs to be removed from office by what ever means necessary !!!
Don’t these asshats swear too uphold the Constitution of these United States of America?, not to mention his own states, if so why are they not arrested and thrown in jail or worse.
Our forefathers would have already eliminated him. He is the exact same enemy they fought in the founding of our great nation. He and others like him must be removed for our republic to survive.
And what else do you expect from a demoncrat that is he!! bent on disarming the people thinking that it will make them safe, when seconds count the police are minutes away. The o,lay thing I see this doing is mAking a great many more targets outof the people. You cannot protect a person by disarming them or does malloy plan on hiring a great many security personnel to protect the people? GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM IS THUGS AND TERRORISTS.
Hello Joe McCarthy
When is ‘tarring and feathering’ going to make a comeback? SOL
Pound sand, Malloy. No.
