Governor Hochul’s Knee-Jerk Attack on the First and Second Amendments

As sure as the sun rises in the east each morning, after the shooting in Buffalo, statist politicians pounced on it to declare that we need less freedom and more government “protection.”

A case in point: New York governor Hochul’s attack on the First and Second Amendments, as detailed here by Judge Andrew Napolitano in the Washington Times.

Authoritarians like Hochul never miss an opportunity to claim that we must give them more power. That has been working for them since the New Deal. Time for Americans to wise up and tune them out.
