Dem State Senator/Gun Control Advocate Arrested For Gun Trafficking

Between Leland Yee and Feinstein, it seems California's elected Democrats really like their guns.

State Sen. Leland Yee was arraigned on seven charges of corruption and firearms trafficking Wednesday, swept up in a broad FBI sting involving more than two dozen people across the Bay Area suspected of selling drugs, smuggling guns and arranging murder for hire.



This story is pretty wild, I'm shocked I haven't seen it here at JREF yet. Shocked!

The affidavit alleges a string of official actions Yee took in exchange for the money. It says he called a manager with the state Department of Public Health to urge the agency to give a contract to an agent posing as a software consultant who gave him $10,000.



It says he wrote a Senate proclamation honoring the Chee Kung Tong group headed by Raymond Chow in exchange for a $6,800 contribution from another agent. It says he also introduced another agent posing as a medical marijuana businessman to two state legislators working on the issue in exchange for two contributions totaling $21,000.



Raymond Chow is a gangster.....

Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow is a former member of a Chinatown street gang and later a member of a Hong Kong-based triad.



He was convicted of six gun charges in federal court in 1995 and sentenced to 23 years in prison. He was the leader of a criminal faction of the San Francisco group called the Hop Sing Tong, which started as a national business association of Chinese immigrants in the 19th century.




From the first story:


Quote:








The same year the undercover agent got Yee to facilitate the illegal gun transaction, the senator carried a pair of gun control bills.



His measures would have strengthened registration requirements by expanding the definition of assault weapons (Senate Bill 43) and compelled the Department of Justice to study safe gun storage (SB 108).



Neither bill advanced as far as the desk of Gov. Jerry Brown. But in a statement accompanying a bill analysis, Yee spoke out about the risk of under-regulated guns.



Unauthorized access to a firearm too often results in unintentional or self-inflicted gunshot wounds, or firearms being stolen to be used in future crimes,Yee wrote.



There is way too much information to relate in one post.



This story sounds like something out of a Hollywood movie script. Well of course, Hollywood is here in Cali too!
