Author    Post   untanglingwebs El Supremo Dan Malloy: Wayne LaPierre 'Reminds Me Of The Clowns At The Circus' The Huffington Post | By Alana Horowitz Posted: 04/07/2013 10:02 am EDT | Updated: 04/07/2013 4:13 pm EDT Connecticut Governor Dannell Malloy appeared on CNN's 'State Of The Union' on Sunday to discuss, among other things, NRA President Wayne LaPierre. He didn't exactly praise the pro-gun lobbyist. "Wayne reminds me of the clowns at the circus. They get the most attention and that's what he's paid to do," Malloy said. "This guy is so out of whack, it’s unbelievable. 92% of the American people want universal background checks. I can’t get on a plane as the governor of the state of Connecticut without somebody running a background check on me. Why should you be able to buy a gun?" The governor was responding to criticism from LaPierre over his state's new gun control law. He also hit back against fears that gun manufactures might flee the state. “We’ve decided that public safety trumps all of that,” he told host Candy Crowley. “I hope they stay and manufacture products that can legally be sold. But if they leave, that will be a decision they make. We’re not making them leave.” Malloy this week signed into law the nation's toughest restrictions on guns, less than 4 months after the tragic shooting in Newtown took place.

A total ban on the private ownership of guns will only have ONE effect; the street price will go up. Or maybe the government fears an armed citizenry. When seconds count, the Flint police are hours, or days, away. By the way, why is it in Flint that shots fired into an occupied home is considered malicious destruction of property instead of what it is; attempted murder? _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.

One of my favorites is Don imus who constantly slams the NRA yet has a carry permit in NY. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!

Guns for me, but not for thee. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.
