Will NY Dems Say Anything About Rochester Mayor's Bust On Gun Charges?

A couple of months ago, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren’s husband was arrested on gun and drug charges, but the mayor herself had repeatedly denied any involvement or awareness of her spouse’s alleged lawbreaking. Despite those pleas of ignorance, a grand jury has now returned several indictments against the mayor herself. Warren’s facing a felony charge of criminal possession of a firearm, as well as two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and failure to lock/secure firearms in a dwelling.
This is now the second felony charge for Warren, who was also indicted on campaign finance fraud last year, but this most recent arrest poses a much bigger problem for Democrats in New York than Warren’s alleged campaign-related crime. Politicians have their standard stock answer when one of their colleagues is accused of breaking election law; usually something like “these are troubling accusations, but I’ll reserve judgement until a jury has reached a verdict.”
I don’t think that’s going to fly here. Not only are we talking about a gun control champion getting busted for illegally possessing a firearm, but Warren’s arrest highlights the fact that under New York law, mere possession of an unlicensed handgun is supposed to result in prison time upon conviction. While establishment New York Democrats like Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General Letitia James, and NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Eric Adams are all now talking about the need to get tough on criminals, far-Left activists in the state are still demanding a “reimagining” of the criminal justice system itself. Warren’s charges highlight the split on among Democrats, and thanks to her relatively high profile in state politics, it makes it tough for New York pols to ignore her arrest.
It wasn’t long ago, after all, that Warren was teaming up with New York Attorney General Letitia James for a “gun buyback” in Rochester.
~Snip~
Warren claims the guns weren’t hers, and that she didn’t know they were in the home. If that’s the case, does James believe the charges are unwarranted, or should the charges stand because Warren should have been aware of her husband’s alleged activities?
I don’t see how Letitia James can decry Warren’s arrest or the possible punishment she faces if convicted, but I’m sure the AG is hoping that the press corps in Albany simply won’t ask too many tough questions about Warren’s legal fight and New York gun control laws. If reporters do their jobs, however, both the AG and the governor should be pressed to explain if and why they believe that Lovely Warren should spend the next few years in prison for the non-violent, possessory offense of having an unlicensed firearm in her home.

It's obvious that Mayor Lovely Warren violated New York State Laws regarding possession of illegal hand guns. Yet, she herself has recently said the following:

“Getting guns off our streets must be a priority,” Mayor Warren said in a statement. “That’s why I’m glad our police department is partnering with the Attorney General’s Office and our churches to host a gun buy-back event next week. I know Chief Herriott-Sullivan and her team are working with their partners in law enforcement to stop the flow of illegal guns into our city. We must continue working together with our citizens to take these guns off our streets so our residents can feel safe in their neighborhoods and live the lives they deserve.”​

I certainly expect the New York Democrats to chastise the mayor - Democrats are honorable people and very protective of their principles.

[pknopp]

The hypocrisy here is a very valid complaint. For far too many politicians it's "do as I say, not as I do" and she should be removed. Any felony conviction should be automatic removal from office.

That noted will gun right advocates note how this should not be illegal to start with? If she and her husband can be arrested for this it means we do not actually have a protected 2nd Amendment right.

I can see neither side being principled here. That's our problem. If you want the (D) party to really come down on her, the NRA should come out in her defense.

As a gun rights advocate, I can say I don't believe there should be charges. The reality of the situation is that laws actually exist and therefore need to be adhered to. You are creating a situation that is simply unrealistic and putting the burden on the wrong people.

You know Western NY is hard core Red, right?

Unrealistic? How else do you get laws changed?

You pursue this through the proper channels, the legislature. Demanding that gun rights advocates come to defend this person is simply moronic.

Because not everyone is covered by Constitutional protections? Some people are excluded? We see that quite a bit here.

Are you going to answer the question?

You should report such findings to the appropriate authorities, the US has several agencies dedicated to ensuring equal opportunity and making sure unlawful discrimination is not tolerated.

Then why is Rochester a corrupt Blue Plantation city?

She is violating the New York State and Rochester City laws regarding possession of firearms, not the U.S. Constitution. The fact that her husband is a convicted drug dealer makes her violation of law obvious.
However, most felons and their relatives caught with unregistered firearms skate in lieu of more criminal acts.
