A Perfect World in N.Y. City

Fascists, Socialists and Communists have many things in common and one of them is removing all guns from their people; only Hitler, Stalin and Mao and their supporters had firearms in their perfect world. 

Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, the presumptive Democrat nominee for mayor of N.Y. City describes himself as a Democrat Socialist while President Trump labels him a Communist.  Mamdani also wants NY City to be a perfect world and he wrote in a May 24, 2022 tweet, “We need to ban all guns.”    

New York City is noted for its slooowww pace in approving pistol permits.  Many would not believe it could get slower.  Guess again.

On the other hand, some of Zohran Mamdani’s programs would seem to say New Yorkers will need more guns.  Let’s explore some quotes from Mamdani which would seem to support the idea that more guns will be needed.

Did you think ‘Defund the Police’ was dead?  Think again.

Per Mamdani: Queer liberation means defund the police. We don't need an investigation to know that the NYPD is racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety.  What we need is to #DefundTheNYPD.  NO to fake cuts – defund the police. 

And apparently the key to reducing crime is keeping criminals out of jail.

Per Mamdani: We will support existing decarceral legislation that will:

End cash bail

Decriminalize sex work
Legalize marijuana
Permit safe injection sites
        mandatory licensing of semiautomatic rifles;
        banning civilian purchase of body armor
        restrictions on gun dealer advertising and required warning signage in                    retail stores.
        expanding New York’s “Red Flag” laws;
        forced disclosure of social media accounts for concealed carry applicants.

He wants to empty jails because: "Violence is an artificial construct."

Per Mamdani: “conflating (sex) trafficking with consensual sex work won't help anyone.  DA Katz must listen to sex workers & their demand for full #decrim.

But if you happen to be one of the criminals ‘victimized’ by being put in jail, your life will get easier.

Per Mamdani: Restrict solitary confinement; Enact elder parole; Re-enfranchise incarcerated Nyers; Make all calls and emails to and from people incarcerated in state jails and prisons free.

In Mamdani’s N Y City, when you are in danger, a social worker will be minutes away.

Per Mamdani’s campaign web site: …centralize, expand, and invest in community-based violence intervention programs through the Crisis Management System, including gun violence interrupters…deploying teams of violence interrupters to respond immediately to instances of gun violence.

He wants to emulate a Richmond California program that… deploys trained outreach workers to people identified as active firearm offenders.  (Emphasis added),

Crime in the transit system?

Mamdani’s web site calls it “A Critical Place for Intervention” and, instead of more cops, his web site says he will be: “Creating dedicated outreach workers in our subway stations.”

History is a prelude to the future.  Here is how Mamdani voted as a N.Y. Assemblyman (via VoteSmart):

Decide for yourself.  Will Mamdani’s gun free New York City be a place where guns are not needed for personal defense or will guns be even more of a necessity?

And since N Y City is the ‘1,000 pound gorilla’ in the N Y legislatures, expect a spill over into the rest of N Y State.  Especially in the area of financing all these ‘progressive’ programs.
