Connecticut's Gov. Dannel Malloy (D) called the NRA "a terrorist organization" and announced his state will "boycott the NRA."
"Their defense of gun ownership goes far beyond legitimate protection of the rights of hunters and ventures into explicitly anti-government intent," Malloy argued. "In their fantastical vision, citizens need guns to be able to fight against tyranny. If that isn't an out-and-out threat to authority I don't know what is."
"Citizens owning guns may have made sense when we were fighting the British for our independence," Malloy ventured. "But times have changed. Under our democracy, the government is the people. It is nonsensical that citizens would any longer need guns to protect themselves from government oppression."
"Ideally, only the government should have guns," Malloy contended. "The next best option would be for the government to extend the privilege to select individuals or groups whose loyalty to the government is without question. These loyal citizens would constitute the 'well-regulated militia' that government officials could call upon to put down rebellions against its authority—as the writers of the Second Amendment originally intended."

He must be insane to not have read the information from the NRA, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. I hope his voters shut him down quickly either by removing him from office tout suit or by impeachment. I wonder who is feeding him the garbage he is repeating...or is it his own?
“...Connecticut’s Gov. Dannel Malloy (D) called the NRA “a terrorist organization” ...”
That’s OK, Governor... half of the Country thinks you and YOUR party are a domestic terrorist organization.
So we’re even.
“...It is nonsensical that citizens would any longer need guns to protect themselves from government oppression.” ...”
Randy Weaver and his family, David Koresh and the Davidians, the Bundy family in Nevada and a whole host of other Americans who experienced first-hand YOUR idea of “democracy” and “government” would tend to disagree with you, Governor.
As do half of the country - the half that’s armed.
Concurring completely. This man Malloy probably couldn’t run a hot dog stand,let alone a state. The man is so far out of tune,it’s laughable. Hope he isn’t a good example of his constituency,but am afraid he might be & that would answer the question as to how he got elected.
Damn right! You apparently need to read about the history of this country if you think the 2A is about protection of hunters' rights. The Second Amendment is the protector of the people against a tyrannical government.
Useful idiot alert with this one.
The next best option would be for the government to extend the privilege to select individuals or groups whose loyalty to the government is without question.

That's EXACTLY what our Founders were escaping. He's literally espousing the viewpoint against which we fought the British. Holy cow that's terrifying.
