CT Governor Maloy is a childish little monkey-boy
Hey. As long as we’re calling names here, I thought I ought to get my shots in. Ex-PH2 sends us a link to CBS News which reports that Connecticut Governor, Dan Malloy called Wayne LaPierre a clown today on CNN;
[Malloy] slammed the National Rifle Association Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” saying NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre “reminds me of the clowns at the circus – they get the most attention.”
“This guy is so out of whack, it’s unbelievable,” Malloy said, saying the NRA simply will not compromise “on anything to do with guns.”
[…]
“I can’t get on a plane, as the governor of the state of Connecticut, without somebody running a background check on me,” he noted, asking why someone who hasn’t passed a background check should be “able to buy a gun? Or buy armor-piercing munitions? It doesn’t make any sense. He doesn’t make any sense.”
First of all, it’s Democrats who won’t compromise on the background checks issue. Republicans are willing to give in on universal background checks as long as those background checks are destroyed after the purchaser has been approved and Democrats just won’t give on that – because their ultimate goal is a national registration of firearms.
Secondly, I’ve never been “background checked” when I got on a plane – I may have had my name checked against a no-fly list, but never did anyone call the NICS system.
And, thirdly, no one is buying armor-piercing ammo, douche-nozzle.
By the way, current laws in Connecticut prevented Adam Lanza from buying a gun which is why he stole his mother’s guns. The NRA and this blog have always opposed arming the mentally-ill and criminals, and background checks will certainly help in that regard, but not if you’re going to keep the records of those checks in some database somewhere.
The only way that background checks would have prevented the Sandy Hook shooting is if Connecticut required background checks of everyone living in the Lanza household when Nancy Lanza had bought her guns. And even then it wouldn’t have worked because Adam Lanza wasn’t identified as someone who couldn’t buy guns because Leftists are more worried about his rights to keep his mental condition confidential than they were about those 20 little children who they’re wringing their hands over now.

So if we don’t keep records of background checks how is it we know he was refused in buying a weapon?
Why would we need to keep a record of people who DON’T own guns?
“a childish little monkey-boy”
Priceless.
I guess this means that I can’t buy armor-piercing ammo for my .22!
Color me amazed that a US governor would stoop to name calling. Publicly. Well, maybe not, but I really don’t like it at all.
Oh, and I tried to take the test but failed.
A bag of dicks this man is…
Turd.
During, and after, Hurricane Sandy, Connecticut’s governor came across as a pencil-necked geek who had no idea of what needed doing. New Jersey’s Christie was great. NY’s Cuomo, at least, sounded like he was on top of things but Maloy(?)… a
wet dish rag.
When politicians can’t find facts to support their views, they make stuff up. then they repeat it over and over…then it’s a fact.
As I understand it, unless police body armor has improved dramatically, most deer hunters buy what for purposes of police officer safety is effectively armor piercing ammo. Maybe he was just talking out his ass, or maybe it’s just another example of a politician slipping and revealing that his real agenda is to ban everything.
And I thought only little kids engaged in name-calling.
Naw, I know I do that to Kim Jong-Un, but I’m not a brain-dead politician who is catching a helluva lot of flack from the people in CTland to don’t like him.
Now, here’s the thing. The Norks are pawing and snorting and pulling the Foghorn Leghorn bit. Gun control is slipping off to the side. It isn’t getting as much attention as it used to. It may, in fact, fade into nothingness. This CT law could be found UNCONSTITUTIONAL (Gasp!) and have to be revoked. When (and if, and it might) that happens, this useless piece of political sludge will be less popular than he thinks he is now.
Calling Wayne LaPierre a clown? Isn’t that kind of the big, fat pot calling the kettle black?
The man and those like him on the left, are a bunch of arrogant asses. They are losing the debate despite all their propaganda, their insistence that “we the people” want what they are trying to jam down our throats.
They have only rhetoric and name calling, the facts just are not on their side at all. So they do what comes natural to bullies, they try to shout down their opposition with personal attacks.
These guys help make the case for one to acquire certain weapons and ammo that one wouldn’t otherwise have an interest in owning–like sidewinder missiles and this:

@10.
Welcome to my liberal college.
Gets old.
@11 — I WANT one!!! Does it come fully loaded?
Actually, Malloy is wrong. Elephants at the circus get more attention than anything else, including clowns and trapeze artists.
You don’t need all of those Hellfire missiles for deer hunting.
@14.
Sure you do.
Those bucks get pretty damn big up here in the great NW.
@14 — but I might need them for RINOs.
I was thinking maybe Cruise missiles would be better for deer hunting and Hellfire missiles for goose and turkey hunting.
Ever tried to kill a turkey? A 12 gauge with a turkey choke and 3 1/2 inch magnum turkey loads only sometimes do the trick. Hellfires will produce results. I think they will even bring to reality the “bullets that cook the meat when they hit” thingies that liberals keep telling us we have.
Governor Douchebag: “reminds me of the clowns at the circus – they get the most attention.”
No worries Douchebag, I’m sure you’ll find another batch of dead children to prop up your propaganda.
Particularly when one armed staffer or teacher could have saved them all, asswipe.
And a walking talking douchebag gets a lot of attention for all the wrong reasons…
It just kills me to listen to these idiots. Our MPD Chief had the nerve to tell Lindsay Grahamnesty that prosecuting people that had attempted to buy firearms illegally was nothing but a paper chase… I have news for the rest of the world… Milwaukee’s NW side is the hood and is the most dangerous part of the city.
It appears though, that the spill over is starting to happen in a lot of other areas of town.
Our mayor, Uncle Tom Barrett has chased almost all the businesses out of town except those downtown and now nobody has a good job in Milwaukee…
Same ideas that CT Gov littleweenie monkey boy are lionized by libs in WI…
Soon Colt and many other firearm manufacturers will be leaving CT, and rightfully so.
They will never learn.
Yeah, only a clown could oppose having to buy both a permit to buy a gun AND a permit to purchase ammo.
Not sure if my comprehension is what it should be on this, but I am not sure whether or not one must continue to roll over those permits every five years in order to continue to possess guns and ammo purchased.
QMC, the key is just getting the permits in place. Once you’re on the hook, the fees and disqualifiers increase in frequency and expense.
Duh gov, Rep. DeGette, D-Stupid, and the wannabe Rep Robin Kelly certainly do give new meaning to the phrase dumber than dirt.
How dare you not compromise your constitutional rights!
This is coming from the same idiots that add on to constitutional rights.
How the fuck can they have it both ways? It’s like everybody is taking crazy pills.
Someone wants to be the next Secretary of the [fill in the blank].
As for national registration – that is a small thing – a very, very small thing. Simply repurpose what already exists and you have national registration tomorrow. There is already software that exists that will find non-obvious relationships as well as obvious ones.
If you want to know how bad it can get, think 10 years out. The Gestapo and the KGB wish they had this kind of intelligence-gathering apparatus.
Maybe the governor of Conn. knows more than we think about circuses.He sounds like the southbound residue of a northbound elephant.
@27, more like the southbound residue of a northbound ass, er, donkey.
Yet more stupidity from Giffords:
Giffords noted that her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, underwent a 5-minute background check last month to purchase an AR-15.
“I remember waiting a lot longer than that for the subway to take me to my office when I lived in New York City!” she wrote. “And then we have a second system for those who don’t want to take a background check. Those people — criminals, or people suffering from mental illness, like the young man who shot me — can buy as many guns as they want on the Internet or at a gun show, no questions asked.”
So it’s a more effective background check if it takes longer? You either pass or you don’t and since we have what’s known as the Internet and databases, it only takes a few minutes. Does she think they have to rifle through thousands of file cabinets or something? Logic is missing is this one but she has ignorance in abundance.
And then the part about “no questions asked”. When you buy a gun online or at a gun show, you have to do the same background check as at a dealer. I had to have my pistol shipped to Bass Pro so that they could run the check and have me sign for it. Since most of the sellers at gun shows are dealers, it’s no different than going to their store.
I tell you, we really need that video of all the stoopid things these people are saying regarding gun control.
the CT governor may be the only 4sshat in the country more of an idiot than our governor in Massachusetts…but I’m not willing to put any real money on that bet…the two of them are quite a pair.
Driving all the decent businesses out of the state, not just firearms but most manufacturing…and trying to fix it with casinos because everybody know that the casinos offer a lot of high paying jobs washing dishes and cleaning toilets…
Why does this guy sound so desperate when they are WINNING!? Come on Gov. Maloy, you guys are winning the fight for the hearts and minds right? Why so confrontational? Unless… Nah you guys are WINNING just like Charlie Sheen on this one baby! Nobody believes the NRA, they don’t have the power of the NAACP, The Southern Poverty Law Center, Handgun Control Inc. etc. Or do they…?
Maybe you’re side really doesn’t have the hearts and minds like you think you do. The scary thing for the “Open Minded” types like you is that when people really have a chance to think about things they don’t always (and sometimes rarely) choose your side, or radical position on things. Gov. Maloy, if anyone is a clown here I believe it is you sir.
Every day, liberals perpetually prove that Ron White was RIGHT when he said “No matter what you try, YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID!! Stupid is forever!” .
WP, White Phosphorous, aka “Willy Pete” grenades, or napalm, THAT’S hunting gear, kill ’em an cook’em all at once!!
@30, that is what seems to be happening in several states – the casinos. It’s happened in Michigan and Michigan is a farm state. I’m just guessing about this, but I’d bet that the majority of Michigan produce farmers would be perfectly happy if Michigan returned to being a farming state.
Waukegan,IL has been trying to get a casino license for several years nad has regularly failed. If they ever get that, the crime rate will be worse than it is now.
PH2–gets even better. Our “beloved” governor, Maggie Hassan, actually had the stones to tell her fellow Dems to pass a budget which included $80 million in revenue from casino licensing funds.
The problem? This state has NEVER passed an expanded gambling law. There are a few “charitable” card rooms in the state of NH, and that’s about it. No casino, none (yet) being built, not even legal yet.
But that’s not gonna stop the Dems from spending that money they don’t have yet!
Sparky, I thought it was only the Norks who live in a state of delusional denial.
Wow! Spending money Maggie doesn’t have? Isn’t that the hallmark of the word ‘liberal’? Spending beyond your means?
Portugal did that. Now Portugal is in worse financial trouble than it was 4 years ago. It may turn worse than Greece.
Yup–she and the Dems want to jack up the budget (we do 2 year budgets here) by 10 percent over the last one–$11 Billion for a state of 1.3 million. No word on where the money is coming from, however, and considering my property taxes are now at nearly $26 per $1000 assessed value, (a 30 percent increase in the past 3 years) it’s not clear where else she thinks she’s going to get the money, although she (for now) says she’s opposed to a broad-based income or sales tax.
At some point, the idiots in Concord are going to realize the, “But we’re not as bad as Massachusetts!” excuse ain’t gonna fly anymore.
And I thought Illinois was bad.
PH, Michigan is divided, really. There’s the rust belt that runs from Detroit up I-75 to Bay City. That was the large majority of the manufacturing base. Then there’s the rest of the state, much of which is farmlands and woods(deer hunting), and lakes.
Since Granholm got the state into the casino business, we’ve had tribes pop up that no one ever heard of, in places where Indians never lived.
I can’t get on a plane, as the governor of the state of Connecticut, without somebody running a background check on me
Pretty loose definition of the phrase “background check” if you ask me. Shit, I go through more just getting from the parking lot into my office at work every morning, and never in a million years would I consider that a background check.
No, that “up my ass” probing of my finances, psych profile, criminal history, etc., I get every three years–THAT’S a background check.
If: “I can’t get on a plane, as the governor of the state of Connecticut, without somebody running a background check on me,” he noted, asking why someone who hasn’t passed a background check should be “able to buy a gun?”
Then: why not require background checks (I’ll settle for IDs) for another Contitutional right i.e. Voting?
I know not on topic, but he brought up having to have one to get on an airplane and that happends to be one of the big lines of logic for a voter ID. So if he feals this way about it to exercise one Constiutional right, why not for another? Or is this more Lib hypocracy?
And to head off any q’s I support having to prove you are a Citizen in order to vote, i.e. show an ID. Background check for a gun? no problem as long as record of check is destroyed afterwords.

41 Isnala: voting is a privilige, not a right.
Dave, do not concur. Voting IS a right, but it’s also the RIGHT of every citizen to maintain and insist upon the integrity of the election process.
If you don’t think that I have the right to know if you’re casting 25 ballots using dead people’s names, etc., then I have a bridge to sell you. But yes, voting is in fact still a right that can be abused and taken away from those who would abuse said right.
#42 If this is the case why do both the 15 and 19 Amendments start with: ‘The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged…’
Now I’m just a lowly E-7 and not a Constitutional Scholar, this plain language of the Constitution would seem to indicate that voting is in fact a right. Then again I’ve actually read our founding documents and unlike others can grasp the simple concept of ‘shall not be infringed/denied/abridged…’

It just gets tackier and tackier. Now Bodaprez is tearing up about gun laws.
