Saw it this morning. Awesome. He's probably in the top three legislators in CA on the anti-gun front. Perfect karma.

The comments on that CCRKBA article make my head hurt. Apparently a lot of folks who use "NRA" as the brand generic for everyone who likes guns.

The website is San Francisco-centric, so cluelessness re guns is the norm.

Not to mention regulate 3D printers so that they couldn't print guns, among other things. I originally though he was trying to stick it to gun owners and home manufacturing hobbyists, but it turns out he only wanted to make sure his customers couldn't cut him out of the deal.  :laugh:

Edit to add: Yee's twitter feed comments, omg it's too funny.

TTAG (I know many of us have mixed or negative feelings) has a lot of information about a bunch of other politicians that are being arrested. It seems like several are going down now, its amazing.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Yee and two other state senators have been suspended:

http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Senate-suspends-Leland-Yee-and-2-others-5357627.php

Quote
California's Democratic-controlled State Senate Friday morning voted to suspend three Democratic members, including Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco, following his arrest earlier this week on federal charges of corruption and arms trafficking.

The 28-1 vote also suspends Sen. Ron Calderon of Montebello, who was charged with bribery and corruption in an FBI sting last month, and Sen. Rod Wright of Baldwin Park, convicted earlier this year of eight counts perjury and voter fraud.

Crossing my fingers that DeLeon will be #4.

What was it Pelosi used to say about a "culture of corruption"?

The NRA response:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/mar/28/nra-aims-social-media-ad-calif-state-sen-leland-ye/

Already have an ad campaign out about it.

THAT is the kind of responsiveness we need in this media climate. I'm very impressed with the NRA here.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Softwar.com 5/25/99 "...According to the report, Poly Tech took advantage of Clinton's 1994 executive order banning assault weapons, including a ban on gun imports from the Chinese Army. "Loopholes allowed importers to bend the rules," states the report. "Specifically, Congress exempted weapons in transit post hoc. The U.S. Treasury initially estimated this exemption would cover 12,000 weapons, but importers actually brought in 440,000." In 1994, President Clinton and the Democrat controlled Congress gave the PLA their greatest gun sales spree in America with a "loophole." Poly Tech officials crammed Chinese flag carrier (COSCO) ships bound for America with every weapon they could scrape from their massive inventory, selling them at inflated prices brought by Clinton's ban. In a single stroke of Clinton's pen, the PLA made over $100 million in wind-fall profits...."

Softwar.com 5/25/99 "...Poly Tech was founded in 1985 as a subsidiary of China's powerful central bank, CITIC (China International Trust and Investment Corporation). In 1996, the Chinese HQ of Poly Technologies was run by Wang Jun and his "princeling" friend, the powerful He Ping, son-in-law of Deng Xiaoping. Wang was not only Poly Tech CEO but also a Director of CITIC. Thus, the PLA "commercial" arms outlet Poly Tech also provided CITIC credit to customers. The curious mix of communism, capitalism and corruption ended in August, 1996, when Poly Tech's U.S. operations were closed by a U.S. Customs sting operation. Allegedly, Poly Tech's man in America, Robert Ma, conspired with China North Industries (NORINCO) representative, Richard Chen, to import 2,000 fully automatic AK-47s into the United States to Customs Agents posing as Miami drug smugglers...."

“This FBI investigation of Leland Yee reveals how easy it is to import lethal assault weapons that were previously banned,” Speier said in a statement. “This case should be a warning to us all that even the most trusted appearing among us are ready to do real harm. Since Congress can pass no meaningful gun-control laws, even after the mass killing in Newtown, President Obama should use his pen to slow the import of these weapons, which have no place in our homes.”
