Default Connecticut to Ban Gun Sales to Those on Federal Terrorism Lists

Connecticut to Ban Gun Sales to Those on Federal Terrorism Lists

With the mass shooting in California last week focusing attention on
terrorism and guns, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy of Connecticut announced on
Thursday that he would sign an executive order that would bar people on
federal terrorism watch lists from buying firearms in the state.

Mr. Malloy said Connecticut would become the first state in the nation
to have such a measure.

“Like all Americans, I have been horrified by the recent terrorist
attacks in San Bernardino and Paris,” said Mr. Malloy, a Democrat. “This
should be a wake-up call to all of us. This is a moment to seize in
America — and today I’m here to say that we in Connecticut are seizing it.”

Connecticut already has some of the strictest gun laws in the country,
including measures enacted in 2013 after the massacre at Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Newtown in 2012. In that attack, a gunman killed 20
schoolchildren and six staff members before killing himself.


The only problem with that is these people were not on the list.
The 2 guns that actually did most if not all of the shooting were
illegally obtained from a 3d party (in a state without that "gunshow
loophole")

The gov also assumes he will have access to the terrorist watch list
and that it will be de facto available to any FFL.

All of this assumes the "watch list" is accurate, perhaps they should
be working on that first.
