Today’s latest episode doesn’t really focus on the disaster that is California’s government and pension mess, but it’s certainly an indicator of just why the state (and the nation) is in such a mess.
State Senator Leland Yee, a long time and very outspoken advocate for gun registration and confiscation was a candidate for Secretary of State. If you missed it, earlier this year he was indicted for arms trafficking and public corruption. Senator Lee is a high ranking Democrat.
Quote:In a stunning criminal complaint, State Sen. Leland Yee has been charged with conspiring to traffic in firearms and public corruption as part of a major FBI operation spanning the Bay Area, casting yet another cloud of corruption over the Democratic establishment in the Legislature and torpedoing Yee’s aspirations for statewide office.
Yup. Bans lead to black markets. It's even better to pull for a ban and make a profit on the side.
Lee should be taken out and shot!
Whoops, excuse me, I thought I was at the GOP convention. My bad.
