Democrat California State Senator Leland Yee has been a strong advocate for every gun control bill the far left People’s Republic of California has passed. Now, in addition to bribery and corruption, Senator Yee has been charged for illegally importing and selling the same guns he would outlaw to his law-abiding constituents.
The affidavit charges that the $2 million worth of weapons to have been secreted into the country from the Philippines included rocket launchers and machine guns, some of which Yee himself had fired while on Mindanao. A portion of the weapons Yee conspired to bring into the U.S. through New Jersey were to have been forwarded on to North Africa via Sicily.
Or, maybe he’s just following the example of his party’s leader; making it illegal for law abiding citizens to own guns while supplying guns to criminal drug gangs.
Update: Oh, my, it seems like Sen. Yee also offered to set up an arms deal with Islamic rebels for $2 Million in cash.
In the video after the break, Senator Yee explains how he wants to keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. “To protect the general public is my priority.”

Gee you would have thought that this would have been splashed all over the internet. I guess if your a democrat that does something for ya.
This guy sounds like a good pick for the Homeland Security Piece Corps.
Hmmm… Sounds to me like he made them illegal to drive up the price.
Just to be clear, the weapons he’s allegedly brokering are already pretty much outlawed (automatic weapons including M-16’s). The stuff that they’re trying to push new laws against are much like childrens’ toys by comparison.
This story is astounding. The extreme hypocrisy is the least thing wrong.
Well, at least Yee dropped out of the Secretary of State race.
The Left is just trying to concentrate power in their own hands so that we will have no recourse if they clamp down. I just hope the military has not been fatally compromised.
