Zohran Mamdani: The Socialist NYC Mayor Candidate Wants Your Guns ~ & More

Opinion

New York City is about to make a decision that could ripple across the country. Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist and proud far-left champion, just secured the Democratic nomination in the race for the next mayor of America’s largest city. If you value your rights—your right to self-defense, your right to free thought, your right to live without government intrusion—then Mamdani’s rise should deeply concern you.

This is the same Zohran Mamdani who tweeted, back in May 2022, “We need to ban all guns.” Not just handguns or so-called “assault weapons”, he said “ALL GUNS”! That wasn’t a slip of the tongue. That wasn’t about “common‑sense gun safety.” It was a blanket call to disarm the American people.

Now he wants the keys to City Hall—and with them, control of the biggest police department in the nation, the power over citywide public health and education policy, and the ability to define “safety” in the most diverse and complex urban environment on Earth.

A Who’s Who of Mamdani’s Endorsers—and What They Stand For on Gun Rights

Who’s Who of left-wing gun-banning firebrands and proclamied socialists stand united behind Mamdani.
Who’s Who of left-wing gun-banning firebrands and proclaimed socialists stand united behind Mamdani.

These aren’t moderates. These are left-wing gun-banning firebrands and proclaimed socialists who stand united behind Mamdani—and they all share one core belief: guns are a problem to be eradicated, not protected.

Endorser Known Gun-Rights Position
Sen. Bernie Sanders Co-sponsored bans on assault weapons; supports universal background checks, closing gun-show loopholes
Sen. Elizabeth Warren Championed federal licensing, waiting periods, assault‑weapons bans, high-capacity magazine ban
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez Co-sponsored bills expanding background checks/magazine restrictions; advocates disarming police in response to social unrest
NYC DSA Explicitly supports civilian disarmament and demilitarization of police
Working Families Party & Sunrise Movement Advocate statewide bans on assault weapons, magazine limits, red-flag laws, and municipal gun buybacks
AG Letitia James Took legal action against NRA; supports tightening NY’s gun-licensing laws
Major progressive unions & socialist orgs (UNITEHERE, 32BJ, UAW, etc.) Back federal gun-control measures and local firearm restrictions

What does this tell us? Mamdani’s coalition is not ideologically diverse; it’s locked firmly to the left on guns. There’s no representation here from anyone who supports traditional Second Amendment rights. It’s a bloc that champions restriction—even elimination—of civilian firearms.

The Policy Reality vs. Campaign Spin

Mamdani’s campaign platform coyly focuses on violence interruption, public-health interventions, mental-health support, and housing initiatives. It’s silent on gun ownership rights.

Why? Because this coalition demands weapon disarmament—but hides behind a softer public-health veneer for political cover.

This isn’t moderation. It’s stealth radicalism. You hear about community clinics and violence interrupters—but the heavy lifting for gun control is being done by the people behind the curtain.

His Voting Record: A Blueprint for Disarmament

Zohran Mamdani may talk “community safety,” but his voting record in the New York State Assembly reveals an aggressive anti-gun agenda that aligns perfectly with his 2022 call to “ban all guns.”

Here’s a quick overview of how he’s voted (via VoteSmart):

  • ✅ Voted for mandatory licensing of semiautomatic rifles – turning a constitutional right into a state-permissioned privilege.
  • ✅ Supported expanding New York’s “Red Flag” laws – allowing guns to be seized without due process based on vague claims.
  • ✅ Voted to ban the civilian purchase of body armor – stripping even passive defense options from the public.
  • ✅ Supported forced disclosure of social media accounts for concealed carry applicants – a chilling attack on both gun rights and free speech.
  • ✅ Voted for restrictions on gun dealer advertising and required warning signage in retail stores – stigmatizing legal commerce.

This isn’t just a series of votes—it’s a pattern. A pattern of hostility toward the Second Amendment. A pattern of punishing law-abiding citizens. A pattern of turning public fear into political power.

The Jewish Vote: A Warning Bell

With the spike in antisemitic violence in NYC—65% of felony hate crimes in 2023 were against Jews—many in the Jewish community are asking: Who will protect us? These Jewish neighborhoods are among the most vulnerable due to oppressive gun laws and a city that criminalizes self-defense; the police are often too slow or too politically constrained to act.

Mamdani’s allies have historically taken positions antagonistic to Israel, and his own associations with DSA and far-left factions that harbor hostile views toward Jewish identity do not inspire confidence.

That makes Jewish voters a pivotal swing demographic. Distrust of far-leftist visions on both public safety and Israel raises serious questions. Will Jewish New Yorkers relent this time and continue to blindly vote for a Democrat? Or will they rally in new numbers to preserve neighborhoods and traditions under threat?

Why Mamdani in NYC Means Warning Bells for America

New York has always been a national barometer. A Mamdani mayoralty—influenced and supported by radical colleagues—would set a precedent: Future left-wing cities might follow with soft-on-rights policies packed inside social‑program rhetoric.

The message would reach far beyond Gotham:

“Disarm law-abiding citizens, fund social services, and redefine safety on your terms.”

If you love your freedom—your right to defend yourself, your right to speak freely, your right to shape your children’s future without ideological interference—Zohran Mamdani is a harbinger of the broader left-wing experiment in disarmament and top-down social control.

Let New York be a firewall. Let voters see the danger before it’s too late.

When a person takes office in this country they swear an oath to the constitution, part of that constitution is the 2nd Amendment. I have watched politician after politician violate their oath, and the pu$$ies in our Gov. don’t have the balls, or just won’t call-em on their hypocrisy!
I wonder can anyone tell me what recourse we have?

Welcome to the New World Order Tovarch! That is unless we can get people to actually vote and shooters to actually become politically involved. It is time that we stop letting someone else protect our rights and start doing the little things for our candidates. Talk really is cheap. Your labor to protect everyone’s rights is beyond measure.

Every time I see articles like this I give them a huge eye roll. Yeah, everyone knows Democrats love banning guns. Democrats tell you they love banning guns. There’s not a single Democrat that doesn’t want some form of increased gun regulation. Nothing here is newsworthy. What should be reported on is all the Republicans who claim to be pro-2A while supporting infringement. How about all the Republicans who just sold us out on the big ugly bill? Any time a gun bill, whether pro or anti, is introduced we need to know exactly how every single Republican stands on… Read more »
