U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren’s husband has been charged as part of a seven-month narcotics ring investigation after police seized $60,000 worth of cocaine, $100,000 in cash, three unregistered handguns and a semi-automatic rifle in raids on the mayor’s home and six other properties,” the Daily Mail reported Thursday. “Timothy Granison, 42, was pulled over by police in his car Wednesday as part of the drugs trafficking probe and was found to be in possession of a large quantity of cocaine, authorities said.
“Investigators then carried out a raid on the home he shares with the mayor and seized two firearms – a semi-automatic rifle and a loaded handgun,” the report elaborates. “The couple’s 10-year-old daughter Taylor was home alone at the time.”
That’s interesting, considering Warren is a member of Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns. The very name is deceitful because they essentially want to make all guns illegal, including handguns and semi-automatic rifles.
Per NRA-ILA’s “New York Gun Laws,” permits, licensing, and registration are all required to “legally” own a handgun, and it is “unlawful to possess any ‘assault weapon’ or ‘large capacity ammunition feeding device’ except as permitted by the law. Residents of New York who lawfully owned an ‘assault weapon,’ as defined, prior to January 15, 2013 were required to either sell it or register it with the State Police before April 15, 2014.”
Per the Democrat and Chronicle, “Granison is accused of possessing 31 grams of cocaine and an unregistered gun.” It’s unclear if the guns taken from her residence, where her young daughter was home alone, were compliant with New York’s “safe storage” laws.
Warren’s citizen disarmament advocacy does not end with her MAIG membership.
Just last month she was getting on-air facetime blaming “illegal guns” and “pandemic stress” for “the recent spike in violence in Rochester over the last few months.” Pointing fingers is a time-proven way to distract the public from the failures of corrupt and incompetent leadership. Suffice it to say peaceable gun owners have been subjected to the same “stresses” and have not responded with such “spikes.”
Warren’s mugging for the camera in order to impose infringements has been going on for years. A 2015 article announcing her joining MAIG includes a photo of her with Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action, who, unsurprisingly, doesn’t seem to want to say anything about this story on her Twitter feed (I need to view it by opening an incognito window because she has blocked me).
Warren was also a featured speaker at a Rochester Marx… uh, March for Our Lives Rally, telling the crowd:
“I want you to know that your city believes in you; we believe in your mission to end gun violence in communities across the country and right here in the City of Rochester.”
She certainly won’t do that with her husband out there “allegedly” associating with armed drug traffickers, whose turf wars and cartel affiliations and the cultural rot they spread result in far more shootings and deaths than “pandemic stress.” Tellingly, such violence is then used by citizen disarmament zealots to impose more infringements on the “law-abiding” and render them more vulnerable to the sociopathic predators who count on such edicts to give them the advantage.
Who thinks Warren, someone who ostensibly runs a city, has been taken unaware by all this, and was oblivious to her husband’s guns, to his associations, and to his sources of income? Certainly not the investigators, who “would not rule out the possibility that Warren is ‘in trouble’” (and that would be something else for Watts to avoid mentioning).
If you think about it, and if you think about all the criminal activities Bloomberg’s mayors have been exposed in, her joining that “wretched hive of scum and villainy” makes a perverted kind of sense.

There are very good reasons criminals and the people they know want to restrict firearms.
Typical liberal, the rules are for the lawbiding citizens and the liberal left are exempt as they are the criminal base accross America . Cocaine and illegal guns are only illegal if your a conservative. Liberals are the biggest hypocrites to breath air. Lie , cheat , steal and do illegal drugs and possess guns they deny lawbiding citizens this is the liberal way and strait out of the Democrats playbook . Good for me but not for thee ! Marxists and communists criminals is all Democrats are !
Part of the “rules for thee, but not for me” crowd. I’m sure the Mayor will say she had no idea her husband was a major drug distributor and had no idea where all that extra money came from.
Those who often protest the loudest are also the most Guilty. Especially those who have something to gain from it.
Average Joe citizen and wife if they shared a house together both would be charged with the crime but not here, if she was aware of the guns and it’s illegal there why no charges on her?
Would also like to know were these guns bought in a FFL dealership or did they come from a street corner dealer?
The citizens of Rochester should proceed to have the mayor removed from office as she was a complicit in the illegal activities.
Is this a case of “Laws for thee but not me”, I say BS.
They’ll be leftards aplenty that will line up behind her because she’s a black female. Her, whitmer, biden all think they’re the ruling class and laws don’t apply to them. It warms my heart when I read stories like this.
