Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson described Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s election victory as “the biggest win for socialism and the biggest loss for the American people.”
Speaker Johnson understands how badly the New York City mayor-elect can harm our civil rights, especially our Second Amendment rights.
The mainstream media looks at Mamdani with damn-near lust in their eyes. He’s 34, good-looking, well spoken, Muslim and even more leftist than the reporters who cover his every single word.
The anti-gun media has constantly tried to stamp-out those who support the Second Amendment. Their only problem has been finding the right sources. However, once Mamdani is sworn in as Mayor, the media’s wait is over. Mamdani will become a loud national anti-gun voice.
The Democratic Socialists of America could hardly contain their glee Tuesday night, firing off a lengthy statement that contained most of their policy plans, at least the ones they want the public to know about.
“We look forward to fighting alongside Mayor Mamdani to win a rent freeze, fast and free buses, and universal childcare. We will continue to fight for a free Palestine, to get ICE out of our cities, fight for alternatives to policing that truly keep communities safe, and stand up to Donald Trump’s attacks on our social services,” Democratic Socialists of America posted on its website.
For all gun owners, not just those behind the lines in New York City, Mamdani’s election was the absolute worst. He never hid his hatred of modern firearms. In fact, he was lobbying hard against legal firearm ownership before he was elected mayor.
“We are reminded—no matter how strong our gun laws are in this state—we are only as safe as the weakest laws in this nation,” Mamdani claimed throughout his mayoral campaign. He even had it posted on his X account.
Like New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Mamdani has repeatedly called for a federal ban on what he and Hochul call “assault rifles.”
While Mamdani has never had a real job in the private sector, his time as a New York State Assemblyman reveals his strong anti-gun beliefs.
Mamdani supported legislation that required gun stores to post warnings about firearms. He voted to force handgun permit applicants to turn over their social media history for evaluation, and he sought to severely restrict how gun makers could advertise their products. Mamdani voted to expand New York’s “red flag” law, and he sought to ban civilians from owning modern body armor.
While he strongly supports disarming New York City residents, at a celebration of his recent wedding, which was held in July at his family’s lavish estate in Uganda, there were lots of guns and heavily armed teams of commandos.
“Security at the event was described as unusually tight, even by VIP standards. Over 20 special forces commando unit guards, some in masks, were deployed around the property. A phone-jamming system was also in place to prevent leaks. Outside the Mamdani house were more than 20 special forces commando unit guards, some in masks, and there was a phone-jamming system set up — and all for the strictly invite-only Mamdani event. One gate had around nine guards stationed at it.” The Post reported.
Takeaways
Mamdani’s hypocrisy is easy to see: No guns for New York City residents, but heavily armed special forces commandos for him.
New Yorkers who cannot afford to hire their own commando teams are at extreme risk because the criminals there are very well armed.
Mamdani’s no-guns-for-thee strategy will result in more loss of life—innocent life. This criticism has nothing to do with his religion—it’s certainly not Islamophobia, as he labels any criticism. It’s about a wealthy young man who was raised on a massive estate in Uganda, who does not understand firearms, self-defense, crime or criminals.
Mamdani’s anti-gun efforts will result in the deaths of more innocent New Yorkers. It’s too bad that not all of its 8-million residents can afford to flee to safer states.

Welcome to Mamdanistan!
Pay close attention to this experiment patriots. All of us here know that the people can vote their way into socialism, but history shows they have to shoot their way out. Or perhaps escape by homemade flotilla. But to where??

If you think that living in NYC is expensive now, wait until it’s free.
If we truly want this nonsense to stop, we have to lobby republican’ts to add a “condition” to all gun legislation that LE SHALL abide by the same laws. If a citizen can’t have a certain type of firearm, LE can’t either.
When you are sworn into office to have to take the oath. When, not it, he goes against anything listed under the constitution, hang him. Tyranny and treason have a legitimate, legal consequence, both are capitol crimes and thus rate capitol punishment. That does for everyone who holds office, serves or does anything when to have to give your oath to defend the people, the nation and the constitution! It’s difficult to believe that anyone would vote for a jihadi communist and this may very well wind up as another demoncrap fixed election but that APPEARS TO BE WHAT HAPPENED.… Read more »
NYC you’ve embraced Mayor Mad Dog now shut up and eat your sh@t sandwich!!! You got exactly what you deserved!!!
Seems as a sovereign nation and as we began to mature with more U.S. borne citizens, we should have adopted an amendment to our Constitution that would prohibit a non-citizen from holding ANY public office. Our Founders had it right for the Presidency, but probably knew there may not be enough educated citizens for all public offices at the birth of our Nation. And/Or, they trusted the States to always govern with common sense and the best interests of our nation as a whole – under the context of the U.S. Constitution – those areas specifically left to the States.… Read more »
Possibly the new Mayor can find a meaningful position for David Hogg in his administration.
Years ago a friend of mine returned from his first visit to NYC and I asked him what he thought about it. The reply was there are over 7 million people living there and they seem to like it. Then he said I’m very glad of that because we don’t want them anywhere else.
Be very careful what wishes and votes for. New Yorkers are about to find out.
The question is all long well the courts and federal government allow him to run with these unconstitutional laws.
Fron the article: Outside the Mamdani house were more than 20 special forces commando unit guards, some in masks, and there was a phone-jamming system set up What do you want to bet that if he can’t get rid of ICE like he wants too, he will try and implement a no mask rule on them. Phone jamming devices? You know that will be used on the anti-Mamdani protesters in the streets of New Dork while the cops are using 2 meter frequencies if he can’t pull this off. He is already re-negging on some of his promised lies, just… Read more »
