Obama Enlists Governors To Bypass Congress: “By Executive Order”

shtfplan.com Now governors are abusing executive orders to trample on the 2nd Amendment as well. With strong resistance in Congress to gun control measures, Obama has taken to working outside his constitutional authority yet again. But he, his pen and his phone, are not alone this time. To bring teeth to his pending executive orders, President Obama is working to enlist the help of many of the state governors who he hopes will sign their own executive orders. To that end, Gov. Dannel Malloy in Connecticut is taking the first plunge in this end run around that pesky Constitution and Bill of Rights. Of course, Connecticut, home to the Sandy Hook shootings, has already seen its gun rights eviscerated: NBC Connecticut reports:

Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy plans to sign the first executive order in the nation to ban the sales of guns to people on federal government watch lists. “We intend to prevent, by executive order through my powers as governor, those on government watch lists from obtaining a permit to purchase a firearm in Connecticut,” the Democratic governor said in a news conference Thursday.
