Yet, he’s a good man, a Democrat pol, who hates assault weapons, and those deadly large capacity magazines.

Re: California State Senator Arrested
First Gordon Fox was raided. And now Yee. Kinda makes you wonder who's next. One thing I can say with certainty is that...any time a politician is arrested, it is probably well-deserved

State Sen. Yee is his party's candidate, I think, for California Secretary of State. You know, the person who runs their elections, their voter registration, etc.
Once again, I am feeling schadenfreude...

Re: California State Senator Arrested
He gone.
A California state senator who authored gun control legislation asked for campaign donations in exchange for introducing an undercover FBI agent to an arms trafficker, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/03 ... -firearms/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Yee discussed helping the agent get weapons worth $500,000 to $2.5 million, including shoulder fired automatic weapons and missiles, and took him through the entire process of getting them from a Muslim separatist group in the Philippines to the United States, according to the affidavit by FBI Special Agent Emmanuel V. Pascua.

So he knew about how to do all that?
I suppose every ordinary American has such know how and connections. I am sure it is just a misunderstanding and he was simply talking in hypotheticals.

Re: California State Senator Arrested
Gosh, the poor guy was just getting raid of the weaponry here so that they wouldn't be in the hands of our children. He meant well, you know (the campaign funds were just a bonus for his good deeds).

Re: California State Senator Arrested
Sounds like he was increasing the value of his black market arms by supporting gun control.

I guess Mr. Yee wasn't deemed quite unsavory enough by the back room cracker barrel boys in his party to run for state Attorney General or Auditor.Tweed Ring wrote:State Sen.

Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Re: California State Senator Arrested
Anyone notice a pattern here? Here is another corruption related arrest attributed to undercover operatives of the FBI - http://news.yahoo.com/north-carolina-ma ... .html?vp=1
And I'm not bashing on the Democrats here...but it just so happens that Fox, Yee and Cannon are all Democrats.

To be fair, he loves making money on them when selling to criminals on the black market. He only hates it when law abiding citizens own them.Tweed Ring wrote:Yet, he’s a good man, a Democrat pol, who hates assault weapons, and those deadly large capacity magazines.

Re: California State Senator Arrested
What is it with Democrat Libs who want to ban guns but supply them to terrorists and drug lords?
What is it with people who vote for them?
I fear this country is done.
