Mayor Warren wants to get tougher on gun crimes
From the September 25, 2015 Democrat & Chronicle, “Warren: Get tougher on gun crimes“:
“Mayor Lovely Warren spoke with three other New York mayors on Monday to brainstorm possible solutions to a recent scourge of gun violence in their cities. The discussion came about a week after Warren sat down with representatives of Moms Demand Action, a national gun control group looking to expand its presence upstate. Warren said afterward that she sees a tougher, more consistent approach to illegal weapons as one strategy among many to help reduce violence in Rochester and elsewhere …”
From today’s Democrat & Chronicle, “Timothy Granison, husband of Mayor Lovely Warren, faces drug and weapon charges“:
“A seven-month drug investigation rattled Rochester’s political world with the arrest Wednesday of Timothy Granison, the husband of Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren … Granison’s charges are serious — he is accused of possession of 31 grams of cocaine with intent to sell, which was allegedly found in his car after it was stopped, and illegal possession of a handgun … The unregistered hand gun, a loaded magazine and the semi-automatic rifle were recovered from the mayor’s house …”

NYC Council District 5 primary recommendation
Getting involved with NYC elections isn’t hard for 2A activists. It really just requires making a decision as to which is the “best” candidate to vote for in any given race. That often means choosing the least-worse candidate, but it doesn’t matter. Elections are a choice, not a referendum on the issue.
In the June 22 Democrat primary for Council District 5 the choice is simple: Vote for anyone but Kim Moscaritolo. According to her bio: She spent two years as the Legislative Committee Chair of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, lobbying elected officials in Albany and fighting for gun safety throughout the state.
That is totally unacceptable. There are 7 candidates running in that race and with low turnout anyone can win. 2A victory shall be defined as Moscaritolo losing.
