Mamdani returns from Africa to politically exploit New York shooting

  Abu Sabet: New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani reacted to Monday's mass shooting in midtown Manhattan with a predictable, left-wing demand for more "gun control." The democratic socialist parroted the anti-Second Amendment mantra at a news conference Wednesday in New York, after returning from a 10-day trip to his birthplace, Uganda. "We are reminded that no matter how strong our gun laws are in this state, we are only as safe as the weakest laws in this nation," Mamdani said. After pleading for "stronger gun laws," the Muslim added, "I echo the call from Governor [Kathy] Hochul for a nationwide ban on assault rifles." At the news conference, Mamdani -- who previously demanded defunding the police -- expressed gratitude for the NYPD security detail he enjoys as a mayoral candidate. In other words, the hypocritical Democrat wants to disarm all Americans, so they can't defend themselves, but he gleefully travels with armed security for protection. As a reminder, Las Vegas resident Shane Tamura traveled to the Manhattan office building that housed NFL headquarters on Monday, where he shot and killed four people. He then killed himself, authorities said. In a suicide note, Tamura expressed grievances against the NFL, claiming he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain disease linked to repeated head trauma, especially in those who play football. Predictably, Democrats frivolously pounced on the incident to demand more "gun control," even though New York has among the strictest gun-control laws in the United States. Gun violence is tragic, and it shouldn’t happen as often as it does in this country. But whenever it occurs, unhinged gun-control crusaders rabidly demand “more gun control” -- as if that would end the nationwide scourge of gun violence. But it doesn’t. If gun control laws actually worked, shootings would not be so common in left-wing cities, such as Chicago and Philadelphia, which have strict gun laws.
