CA. Gun Control Champ heading to Prison!

Post by JU-87 »

:lol: Ha-Ha! What a hippocrite! :lol:


Ex-Calif. State Sen. Leland Yee, gun control champion, heading to prison for weapons trafficking
...This Wednesday, Yee received a five-year prison sentence for accepting bribes and trafficking in arms.

After initially denying culpability, Yee pleaded guilty to the charges last summer.

...Yee also discussed buying weapons overseas and bringing them to the U.S. with two associates and an undercover agent. He accepted $6,800 and a list of arms for purchase in the Philippines.

The maneuvers were not only illegal, but also in stark contrast to what he had long purported to stand for.

Yee told CBS two years before he was arrested: “It is extremely important that individuals in the state of California do not own assault weapons. I mean that is just so crystal clear — there is no debate, no discussion.”

As a legislator, Yee supported strict gun control laws and was named to the Brady Campaign’s Gun Violence Prevention Honor Roll...

Someone's reaction to this on Facebook was a very happy "YEE-haah!"
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Still...5 years is a long time. Five years ago Barack Obama was only six weeks into his second four year term. Look at how long that's been...or felt :o
