Republican Home Speaker Mike Johnson described Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s election victory as “the largest win for socialism and the largest loss for the American folks.”
Speaker Johnson understands how badly the New York Metropolis mayor-elect can hurt our civil rights, particularly our Second Modification rights.
The mainstream media appears at Mamdani with damn-near lust of their eyes. He’s 34, handsome, properly spoken, Muslim and much more leftist than the reporters who cowl his each single phrase.
The anti-gun media has continuously tried to stamp-out those that assist the Second Modification. Their solely downside has been discovering the proper sources. Nevertheless, as soon as Mamdani is sworn in as Mayor, the media’s wait is over. Mamdani will turn out to be a loud nationwide anti-gun voice.
The Democratic Socialists of America might hardly include their glee Tuesday night time, firing off a prolonged assertion that contained most of their coverage plans, a minimum of those they need the general public to find out about.
“We look ahead to preventing alongside Mayor Mamdani to win a lease freeze, quick and free buses, and common childcare. We are going to proceed to combat for a free Palestine, to get ICE out of our cities, combat for alternate options to policing that actually preserve communities protected, and stand as much as Donald Trump’s assaults on our social providers,” Democratic Socialists of America posted on its web site.
For all gun house owners, not simply these behind the traces in New York Metropolis, Mamdani’s election was absolutely the worst. He by no means hid his hatred of recent firearms. In reality, he was lobbying laborious in opposition to authorized firearm possession earlier than he was elected mayor.
“We’re reminded—regardless of how sturdy our gun legal guidelines are on this state—we’re solely as protected because the weakest legal guidelines on this nation,” Mamdani claimed all through his mayoral marketing campaign. He even had it posted on his X account.
Like New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Mamdani has repeatedly known as for a federal ban on what he and Hochul name “assault rifles.”
Whereas Mamdani has by no means had an actual job within the personal sector, his time as a New York State Assemblyman reveals his sturdy anti-gun beliefs.
Mamdani supported laws that required gun shops to publish warnings about firearms. He voted to drive handgun allow candidates to show over their social media historical past for analysis, and he sought to severely prohibit how gun makers might promote their merchandise. Mamdani voted to broaden New York’s “pink flag” regulation, and he sought to ban civilians from proudly owning trendy physique armor.
Whereas he strongly helps disarming New York Metropolis residents, at a celebration of his current wedding ceremony, which was held in July at his household’s lavish property in Uganda, there have been a number of weapons and closely armed groups of commandos.
“Safety on the occasion was described as unusually tight, even by VIP requirements. Over 20 particular forces commando unit guards, some in masks, had been deployed across the property. A phone-jamming system was additionally in place to forestall leaks. Exterior the Mamdani home had been greater than 20 particular forces commando unit guards, some in masks, and there was a phone-jamming system arrange — and all for the strictly invite-only Mamdani occasion. One gate had round 9 guards stationed at it.” The Submit reported.
Takeaways
Mamdani’s hypocrisy is straightforward to see: No weapons for New York Metropolis residents, however closely armed particular forces commandos for him.
New Yorkers who can’t afford to rent their very own commando groups are at excessive threat as a result of the criminals there are very properly armed.
Mamdani’s no-guns-for-thee technique will lead to extra lack of life—harmless life. This criticism has nothing to do together with his faith—it’s actually not Islamophobia, as he labels any criticism.
