(Aug. 1, 2026) — States do not have the authority to cordon or suspend Individual Rights identified, codified and protected under the US Constitution. The Second Amendment says, “the Right of the People (Preamble clearly indicates Citizens) to Keep and Bear Arms shall not be infringed,” i.e., cordoned, abridged, suspended, halted – period.
What it does not say, although implied to mean also not infringed upon, is the unregulated employment/firing of those Arms. As a matter of public safety, it is sensible to consider certain spaces, unsuitable or dangerous to allow the firing of Arms. So, while States can regulate where and when an Arm can be fired they have zero authority to determine who can own or carry. Hochul writes rules and laws effectively denying Sovereign US Citizens their Constitutional Right in defiance of the US Constitution and the Federal Government whose FIRST duty is to protect the Constitution and the Individual Rights enshrined within.
As such, she is likely chargeable for a seditious act. Now whether it is either practical for the Government to do so or if they even have the will to, is another issue…
Gov. Hochul is the Chief Executive of one State within the United States; she is not the Potentate of an autonomous Principality. The US Constitution and the Individual Rights/Philosophical Limbs enshrined within are sacrosanct. As such, interfering with the free expression of those Rights makes her, in point of fact and a clear-eyed reading of the Constitution, an enemy of the People, even those who voted for her.
Her attitude toward firearms pales in comparison to the Communist candidates who are winning most of their primary races. The extra-judicial suspension of basic human and First Amendment Rights we witnessed during that fake-demic served as a prologue to the story that’s coming if Hochul’s, Spanberger’s, Mamdani’s, and Wilson’s arrogance is multiplied by a deepening bench seated with the likes of Jackson, El Sayed, Chevalier, Kiros, Landers and more.
The history of Marxism/Communism and its softening agent, Socialism, is consistent and follows the exact same playbook; divide, silence, disarm, punish, solidify and centralize power.
This commentary is concerned with Second Amendment infringement. But the Left’s defiant dismissal of Federal Law is a truly insidious work as a softening agent, building a callus on the collective consciousness of a population rendering them as inert, accepting vassals who will bear children who won’t know any different, having been taught twisted gender ideology in place of unadulterated history, much less the US Constitution.
November’s midterms will tell us a lot. Will we reject this cancer or reject what our forefathers fought and died creating for us?
Semper Fidelis;
