Why are anti-gun activists so corrupt?
Anti-gun CA senator arrested for corruption.
Update: It gets better:
A 137-page criminal complaint charges a total of 26 people — including Yee and Chow — with a panoply of crimes, including firearms trafficking, money laundering, murder-for-hire, drug distribution, trafficking in contraband cigarettes, and honest services fraud.
Yee is charged with conspiracy to traffic in firearms without a license and to illegally import firearms, as well as six counts of scheming to defraud citizens of honest services. Each corruption count is punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000, while the gun-trafficking count is punishable by up to five years and $250,000.
Update 2: From the affidavit, looks like (on page 25) it was importing arms through New Jersey.

Gun trafficking, too, I understand. The irony, it burns.

Makes sense – he wants to keep profits up by reducing competition!

Couldn’t happen to a nicer douchnozzle! There’s a political side too this too, with no Republicans in sight and none in the SF-Bay, the Democrats’ deadlock on issues and candidates is so great that THIS is about the only way to effect ANY change in candidates – so they have to resort to Democrat Cannibalism! Can’t wait for Pelosi’s Cannibal-Feast…

Did he perhaps steal a horse?
That would make things so much simpler.

If nothing else, he’s now eligible for a honorary membership in Bloomberg’s Illegal Mayors.

Looking thru the affidavit, it’s shocking what low quality weapons these guys opted for. Well… not that shocking.
Weren’t exactly loading up on Knights Armaments and Les Beaers.
Stingy with the ammo too. They obviously don’t do training.

We, the people of Virginia, need to stop funneling so many illegal guns to New Jersey so that corrupt, anti-Constitution politicians in California are no longer able to traffic in them. 😉

I guess the ATF was too busy trafficking in arms itself to bother investigating and arresting other arms traffickers.

Also his buddy, S.F.’s former School Board President and highest education official Keith Jackson was accused by the FBI in a murder-for-hire scheme.
The gift that keeps giving…
