Dem Gov. Malloy: ‘Quite Remarkable’ That Europeans Allow Americans to ‘Go to Their Country’

Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy (D.) said Friday that America has a "violence culture," and he expressed surprise at the idea that European countries even allow Americans to visit.

Malloy, who is the least popular governor in the entire country, has made gun control a central issue of his, co-founding States for Gun Safety to cooperate with other northeastern states to prevent gun violence. MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked Malloy whether the students who have started the "Never Again" movement after the shooting in Parkland, Fla., can sustain pressure on to enact stricter gun laws.

"I do. Listen, 25 percent of all high school students will vote in the next election. That happens year after year after year," he said. "This is a monumental change in America."

Then Malloy transitioned to a sweeping judgment on America’s culture.

"We are a gun and violence culture, and we need to get away from that," Malloy said. "The idea that European nations allow anyone from America to go to their country, given our history of this kind of violence, is really quite remarkable, particularly when you think of how our president refers to other societies and other cultures."

Malloy was apparently referring to President Donald Trump’s reported comment that countries such as Haiti are "s—holes." Those countries were not in Europe, however, while the country Trump reportedly praised was Norway, which is in Europe.

Malloy went on to say that gun control has momentum because of how many images and recordings there are that show what happened during the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

"We've got to change," Malloy said. "I think there is a movement about it and, quite frankly, these wonderful students are a gigantic part of that. I think they'll sustain it."

He said bump-fire stocks, which are gun modifications that the attacker used in the Las Vegas shooting last year, should be illegal, along with unspecified guns, presumably AR-15s.

"You shouldn't be able to buy one of these instruments [guns] now that we know how lethally they can be applied in a church in, a movie, in a grammar school, in a high school," Malloy said. "We've got to make some big, big changes."

Others, such as MSNBC contributor and Princeton professor Eddie Glaude, have also linked gun violence to a deep-seated cultural problem that must be addressed. Glaude said Americans hold to a "myth" that "we can protect ourselves."

This IDIOT “governor” should be reminded that Eupropeans have a tradition of welcoming and cheering AMERICAN VISITORS.
Especially young AMERICANS wearing khaki uniforms and well armed who “VISIT” to free Europeans from varied tyrannies.
In fact, idiot Governor, Europeans adore those “visitors” so much that a tragic number of them have been invited to spend eternity at rest in ground set aside for them.
Some of these “resting places” have been situated on really prime sites overlooking the beautiful beaches of Normandy.
Maybe governor Dimwit should plan his own visit.

This is the democrats play now - this is all they have.

They can’t run against Trump on his record, “collusion” is a bust, so it’s going to be “gun control” and the “the GOP gets funding from the terrorists at the NRA” - 24/7.

[Chainmail]

Hardly surprising: his resume doesn’t include any time in uniform. Of course he would think guns are the problem.

[elcid1970]

Is this goofball suggesting that Americans are so violent by nature that even if unarmed (who takes a gun to Europe!!?) they represent a physical threat to foreigners?

If France or Germany had the choice of having six million Americans replace an equal number of Muslims in their midst, now which would they prefer?

Malloy is such a crackpot that rumor has it he will retire in South Carolina. That’s my state & it is awash in firearms especially the scary black rifle variety.

[bgill]

America isn’t a violent culture but it does have a violent culture within it that is identified as Democrats.

Americans hold to a "myth" that "we can protect ourselves."

The local skool board can't protect us. The local po-lice can't protect us. The county sheriff can't protect us. The FBI can't protect us.

Who's left that can protect us?

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Europe? That blood-stained continent that gave us not one, but TWO World Wars plus countless other wars across the centuries? And another one is coming, because of the muzzie invasion?

ESAD, Malloy!

[SaxxonWoods]

Why don’t you build a big beautiful WALL around Connecticut to keep Americans out, Governor?

[Bayan]

It’s quite remarkable that Malloy is occupying any position other than as a Walmart greeter.

[Glaude said Americans hold to a “myth” that “we can protect ourselves.”]

Only the government can protect us. Oh wait..............

How anybody could look at the astounding failures of government to protect those kids down in Florida and then utter this delusional nonsense is beyond me.

Liberals truly are insane.

But, the NEA is producing the young, gullible, dim bulbs who will vote away their rights, to feel good!

[xrmusn]

This clown is definitely a MAROON....From the state that sends us a semi faux Marine WITH the backing of (local) Vets orgs (that are supposed to be ‘neutral’).

Just more proof that some will do ANYTHING providing the price is right.

Mentioned this recently BUT does rate repeating..

‘The Old Man shuffled up to the Gate at Orly on Jun 2 2014 and was trying to get his passport and IDs. The guy at the gate started fuming and said “Hurry up old Man, you knew you were going to need your passport!’,
Then - to no one in particular - the guard shouted out “Stupid Americans, think they are so much better, they know that France requires a Passport and this fool is not ready’
The ‘Old Man’ straightened up and declared loudly “Listen Pierre, 70 years ago day after tomorrow, the only people I encountered when arriving in France was Germans, there sure wasn’t an ass like you checking passports”

[9YearLurker]

The guy has already retired the worst Guv in America award, having won it, what, 7 years running? But still he insists on extending his legend for idiocy...

When residents of Fairfield County's “Gold Coast” wake up and realize that Rat politicians have painted a taxation bull's eye on their backs the party will be over in the Nutmeg State.

[puppypusher]

I can’t wait for this piece of human waste to depart the Governor’s office Here in Connecticut.He and his Party have done so much to destroy what once was a beautiful state to live in.

Today, especially in the inner city areas it looks like a third world cesspool and we’re in debt up to our eyeball.

Socialist-democrats dismantled mental health care in the 1980’s, and seeded what was left with doctors that are crazier than the patients.

Now, they are reapimg what they sowed.

And NO, this is not because socialist-democrats are idiots.

This move was deliberate and calculated to achieve a desired effect.

When you need a crisis to exploit, nothing works better than driving a crazy person over the edge, or better yet, let a mentally unstable person commit a heinous act, and do nothing to stop it.

The fact that the socialist-democrats and their MSM propaganda wing immediately went after the NRA and second amendment before the bodies were even cold says a lot about their goals.

A noted scholar, Eddie Glaude is the chair of the Center for African-American Studies at Princeton University.

Eddie Glaude:

"Colleges and universities are the places where you cultivate the habits of courage or you learn the habits of cowardliness. When the students responded to the non-indictment of Darren Wilson and marched on Prospect Avenue, later organized a die-in response to all of the deaths at the hands of police, and finally sat in at Nassau Hall and in President Eisgruber’s office, I was so proud, smiling like the Cheshire Cat from ear to ear."

"My book “Democracy in Black” is my attempt to give voice to the context of the Black Lives Matter movement."

Considering the number of crime-ridden cities the state of CT is home to, this takes some chutzpah.

bullying -> school shooting

Parkland students got a deadly lesson in the consequences of bullying.

There was already a law to prevent the Parkland problem:
