What the Evidence Shows

The claim that Zohran Mamdani called out other states for weak gun laws facilitating the flow of illegal arms into New York, such as the AR-15 used by the Manhattan gunman, is not directly supported by the available sources. While Mamdani has made statements reacting to the Manhattan shooting and has been involved in discussions about gun control and policing reforms, none of the referenced articles explicitly document him blaming other states' gun laws for the illegal arms flow into New York.

The sources discuss his reactions to the shooting, political attacks against him, and general calls for gun reform but do not confirm this specific claim. Therefore, without explicit statements or documented evidence from credible sources, this claim remains unverifiable based on current information.
