As Connecticut is in the midst of a very serious situation regarding guns and gun registration, Governor Dannel Malloy attended a town meeting this week to address constituents at John Barry Elementary School in Meriden, Connecticut. During that event, a pro-gun citizen, who has opposed the legislation signed into law by Malloy, which requires gun owners to register their semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines or be considered felons, asked how Malloy could push legislation that is against law abiding gun owners while abolishing the death penalty and offered early release for violent criminals. Malloy’s answer was not to point to the State Constitution, but to point to the people’s desire to “feel safe.” In that respect, he told the questioner that the legislation regarding gun registration had gone through each branch of government and “your side lost.” In essence, Malloy said, “Get over it.”
Malloy told a constituent who asked about the constitutionality of the gun registration law, “One court has already decided… courts are where the constitutionality of these things are decided.”
“You’ve thrown that term around,” Malloy said with a smirk, speaking of the term “constitutional.” “It’s gone to the court, and guess what? You lost.”

Sounds like a nice guy. I’m sure he’ll have no issue getting re-elected.
well that should calm things down.
so are you new or just a retread?
Courts don’t determine what is constitutional. We the People decide that.
Obama sock puppet shows his hand and his arrogance.
Perhaps instead of fighting over Crimea, we should direct our attention to the home front and get rid of our little Putins.
I think that’s when I’d been arrested.....right after I socked him in the jaw.
Remind him that the courts also once ruled that it was acceptable for one man to own another as property.
Zactly.
Is this the turd who pretended to be a Vietnam vet?
Malloy is right.
You can't elect democrat majorities and expect to keep your second amendment rights.
Hope his personal (armed) body guard bill is paid up.
governor will find out just how not over it is. may he discover how not over it is both personally and deeply.
The courts used to rule that there was no happy marriage.
Typical arrogant leftist. When they’re the ones in charge they don’t give a hoot about bipartisanship or finding common ground with their opponents, but when the shoe is on the other foot they demand that the GOP reaches across the aisle and compromise, and true to form our side usually does.
You can't elect democrat majorities and expect to keep your second amendment rights.
Maybe the governor is the designated hitter to get Ubama’s martial law campaign started?
Somebody should tell him that the fat lady hasn’t sung yet.
