It what would surely place his likeness prominently on the Mt. Rushmore of hypocrisy if the allegations are proven in a court of law, famously anti-gun California state Senator Leland Yee has been charged with, in addition to bribery and public corruption…yes…gun running. Specifically, he allegedly conspired with known organized crime lord Kwok Cheung “Shrimp Boy” Chow to illegally import firearms into the U.S. and sell them without a license . . .
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 in through New Jersey were to have been forwarded on to North Africa via Sicily.
We’ve yet to get through the full 154-page affidavit for all of the juicy details, but you can see for yourself here. If it’s possible to die of an overdose of schadenfreude, we may need to call 911 in the next few minutes.
I own two shotguns, a Beretta 682X (12 guage, O/U 30″ barrels) and a Remington Spartan SPR310 (20 gauge, O/U 26″ barrels).
I use the AR for home defense.
I am still trying to keep up. Hold on to your seats folks. Expect more arrests soon!
Two other dems were arrested today, and if I was a betting man I’d say there are going to be a few anti gun state lawmakers from Philly who are going to get up close with the FBI.
There’s no way around this- this is a PR disaster for CA’s gun control movement. And word is this is just the start….
This will surely be a national story if its a conspiracy at the statehouse. Holeeeee-chit man.
The rational side of me sees this as a huge PR loss for the antis. The practical side of me reminds you need to fasten your seat belts, and raise your seat backs and tray tables to their upright positions. Spin? Break out the Dramamine folks, this is gonna be an E-Ticket ride…
This will be shaped to remind us all of the inherent evils of guns, see how bad gun people are, that Yee was so deeply troubled by his illegal sales that he wanted to make sure that at least no one could obtain them legally…
Tinfoil hat brigade input; watch for major shooting events to distract from these jackasses.
Maybe he’ll claim he was framed by the NRA…
HA!!!
Made my day.
Along with the mayor of Charlotte, NC for bribe taking.
“Ban these guns, cuz I got to get paid.”
Next you’ll be telling me that Sen Fienstein has a illegal arms manufacturing plant under her house!
Wait, maybe someone should check.
Note to Yee- Please name Feinstein as a co-conspirator…….pretty,pretty please in fact.
I have several other pistols including a S & W .38 SPL, and a Bersa Thunder .380, but I’ll be buy one of these for my pocket pistol. I’d much rather have a .380 in my pocket than the .38 revolver at home or in the car. It doesn’t take a canon to ward off a punk, and I have no plans of entering a war. If I can’t defend myself with a .380, I should be somewhere else – fast. BTW, it is on Bud’s as “out of stock” now, but I’ve yet to see it for sale anywhere. I’ll wait a few months and then start looking for a Sig 238.
They’re picking on him just because he’s a minority. At least I hope that toxic idiots like that are a minority!
OH THE IRON E!!!
Who made the arrest? I’ve got 18 year old scotch and fine cigars to share. Otherwise, there’s a special occasion bottle of champagne chillin’ in my fridge.
Certainly not the ATF.
I hope the guns he was running have non-detachable magazines!
There is an exquisite irony this…
It’s sad to me that Mr. Fineman is so confused in his thinking. His reality is one that he probably cant square in his own mind so he must blame something, and in this case its guns.
All because of context.
His son was a combat medic so if his son happened to be shot while serving in that capacity this debate, and Mr. Fineman’s organization would never have existed. Because he could rationalize the loss if that happened as justifiable.
But because he was shot by a random mentally ill stranger, he blames guns and all guns are bad.
So in his case, the context is what is important to him even though the outcome would have been the same. He fails to accept the inherent risk that exists in society yet accepted that risk while his son served. Death by gunshot, is the same regardless of who pulls the trigger.
As a medic his son was protected by men with guns. What failed to save his son in society was he should have been protected by men with guns, but it was California, so sorry about that.
I sincerely hope someday he will move past the anger/blame phase of his grief, and accept that his son died a hero regardless of who was doing the shooting. Because what he is doing dishonors his son who served and swore and oath to defend the Untied States and uphold the Constitution.
That makes him a very small man.
Welp, gun-grabbing pols can definitely all go fuck themselves now. I won’t hesitate to use this as an example of what the legislative arm of the civilian disarmament industrial complex is really like and is really up to.
A choice quote from Mr Yee:
“It is extremely important that individuals in the state of California do not own assault weapons. I mean that is just so crystal clear, there is no debate, no discussion.”
Except, you know, if they’re Triad members…
Does this not prove that disarming the public will leave them at the mercy of armed criminals? ESPECIALLY if people like Leland Yee have their way.
“It’s always sad for all of us in the profession,” said [D-Hillsborough Rep. Jackie] Speier, “to see individuals who lose sight of what the public trust is all about.”
Trust. Uh huh. Like trusting the public and the Constitution.
Politics shouldn’t be a profession.
Geezus, do you want the serial numbers too?
Now, God willing, Dianne Feinstein was in the same ring. =)
They would drop the investigation before it ever got a foot hold. Just like the DOJ just did with Harry Reid and a Repub politician. Also this week the PA AG forced an investigation to stop that implicated some Philly Dems for bribery despite the evidence against them. She said it was a racist ploy.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy
Are you F**king kidding me? Are you getting a jump on April Fools day? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, with how he’s been trying to eliminate the legitimate competition.
The bribery charges made me smile, but now I’m speechless. This has brightened up my week infinitely.
Nothing to see here folks, just some a-hole hypocrite politician doing what he can to take away your second amendment rights, all while running guns for his own financial gain. All anti-gun laws in CA need to be wiped off the books.
Laws only apply to little people…
SCOPE is a pro gun group in NY. They’ve organized one more Albany rally against the SAFE act on Tues. April 1. One last vocal dissent before the deadline. If your available to attend pls consider it…
http://www.scopeny.org/april-1st-rally/
Politicians that crusade against prostitution get caught banging prostitutes. Those that crusade against drugs, get caught abusing drugs. Those that crusade against porn, get caught looking at the worst kinds of illegal porn. Holder and Yee run guns and are some of the biggest backers of gun control. This fits the theme, who’s next?
Manna from the heavens. I hope, and get on bended knee, that these charges are true & correct. EVERY GUN OWNER WRITE TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVE and tell them its a wonderful day.
I have a large lougie rolling on my tongue and if he gets within spitting distance…he’s mine.
How rich is that, he’s been slandering innocent people all the while he’s the criminal!
Makes you wonder if he’s just been projecting his own behavior and criminal interactions onto the rest of us.
This story is getting better. Anti-gun senator Leland Yee, who was the author of the bill to ban the California “bullet button” – thus strengthening the California Assault Weapons ban – has been charged with CONSPIRACY TO DEAL FIREARMS WITHOUT A LICENSE AND TO ILLEGALLY IMPORT FIREARMS!
http://cbssanfran.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/complaint_affidavit_14-70421-nc.pdf
Happy snowman! This is awesome!
Where’s the MDA, ARS or MAAG…..er MAIG press release? Shannon, Mark/Gabby, Mike????????? No condemnation of Yee’s blatant flaunting the background check? Nothing?
Hmmmmm, why would that be? Interesting questions aren’t they? We all need to forward these articles to those folks and sit back and watch the fireworks? Imagine how vicious they would lash out, it’s easy if you try.
A picture of Yee with his best friend, Senator Thirty-Caliber Clip.

Pot…. meet kettle
If this is an early April 1st gag I’m gonna be really pissed.
Hahahaha, and the best part is that Yee is being charged for violating section 922! We all hate it so much, but if we have to keep it, might as well use it against our enemies!
Keep it long enough for him to be convicted. After he has that felony on his record, it’s permanent, drop 922 from the books. The phucking he gets for the phucking he gave.
I almost covered my keyboard with Woodford Reserve….good Kentucky Bourbon, but I was able to contain myself. Can’t wait to see where this goes and one can only hope it goes downhill for him.
This couldn’t be happening to a more deserving person.
as they say, you can’t make this stuff up…please please please keep this on the front pages as long as possible 🙂
Yee-hah!
Like Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove?
Major hypocrite, or shrewd capitalist?
“It is extremely important that individuals in the state of California do not own assault weapons. I mean that is just so crystal clear, there is no debate, no discussion.” -Senator Leland Yee
Well how delightfully autocratic of you Senator! I just love it when public servants pontificate their mandates in absolutes.
Yee sought to make it as difficult as possible to obtain firearms so that he and The Triad could clean house selling them on the black market. It was a fine idea at the time, now it’s a brilliant mistake.
So citizens can’t hunt moose with drones but the G can hunt citizens with drones? Got it.
This is too juicy.
Oh I hope Shannon soiled herself.
She has found the legal way to defraud people.
Dirk I sent her a tweet on your behalf..
Shhhhhh. He’s undercover secret agent man working on assignment for Eric Holder to investigate gun running to Mexico. Really
Libtards brains about to explode. In (wait for it) 5…4…3…2…1…BOOM! Go “f” yourselves gun grabbers! This is just more proof that the left are not only hypocrites, but criminals as well. HAHAHAHA IDIOTS!
Ohhhhhhhhhh SNAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!!
I have been laughing hysterically since this posted..
Now just waiting for the anti’s to come out and say what a set up it was, or how this means we need more gun control, or whatever moronic thing they can spew from their asses. It won’t be long before they blame all the gun owners for making this guy break the law..it was not his fault.
For now..HAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH…
BLAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA
We have lots of deer in CA. Lots of them. Lots. But they aren’t big critters. None that I’ve seen so far. I opted for a .243 for my meat rifle because we also have pigs here.
But if Iwas just going to hunt CA deer I could probably get by with an accurate bolt .223.
We hunt moose and deer with our cars here. Obviously you want one of those older cars that wont peel.
In all seriousness, 308 or 30-06 is used the most here. This is helped by cheap Mausers in those calibers that the militia used before.
Just a quick few words on storage. I found some “instant pegs” at Lowes. They are three inch dowels with two inch nails on one end, designed to make a quick hanger ((45 degree angle). I drove two into wall above the doorjamb of bedroom closet door. Shotgun is secure and invisible, until it should be needed. Just a step from bed, reach up and grab weapon.
Shannon will come out with her happy sock smile and blame the gun lobby.

In the last article about this scumbag I wondered what it really had to do with guns, but figured there was an unlikely chance his ouster would result in a less anti-gun politician taking his spot.
This is much more rich. But of course he will probably still be replaced by someone talking about how we have to pass more restrictions to stop guns from getting into the wrong hands. Future facepalm.
UNDERSTAND THIS, ALL POLITICIANS ARE CORRUPT! They either conform to the wealthy corporations and lobbyists or they are blacklisted and not supported in their campaign funds. Neither republican nor democrat politicians care about us really. Their net worth increases in millions in one term due to insider trading secrets, bribes, and pay offs for them to turn their heads away from issues in the areas that they represent.
It is really no ones fault but our own for not protesting and speaking out against it. What they do is create an artificial political stances and impose divisional tactics to make civil unrest. When we worry more about our fellow citizens views and opinions instead of what these idiots on capital hill do, they win and we lose.
How does a man measure himself, voted a representative of the people, yet void of integrity. ALL for 70K debt from a failed mayoral race. I have more respect for the Chinese folks who raid my recycle bin than this condescending bullet button bill writing elected scum.
I’m sure it was just a big misunderstanding. Can Savior Obama summon a sufficiently believable alibi / lie?
Poetic justice
what is sad is that I really should be way more surprised. I should be totally shocked. Mostly, I am like, why did it take this long. The scandals and corruption surrounding prohibition was the beginning of the end.
Corruption i expected. GUN CHARGES? no… that shocked me.
You missed an opportunity to beat him over the head. “Mentally ill persons taking their medication should not be allowed to have a firearm.” The problem with that is that simply means that mentally ill people getting treatment will lose their ability to own firearms. That means that mentally ill people NOT getting treatment will NOT lose their ability to own firearms. That means that people who might otherwise seek treatment for something that can be treated will refuse to get treatment for fear of losing their rights.
All this time listening to Bloomberg blame NH for guns getting into NY and it was an anti-gun Democrat from CA dumping them into NY by the boat load.
Hahaha….this is too rich. I’ve often wondered where so many of the guns criminals possess are coming from. Programs such as Holder’s Fast and Furious, the FBI ‘stings’ set up in cities such as Chicago going wrong surely are supplying criminals and perhaps even the so-called ‘gun buy backs’. And now this! My oh my!
Maybe this is why he and other antigun politicians are always talking about automatic weapons: all his exposure to firearms is the full auto guns his Triad buddies were smuggling. He doesn’t know any different!
Wow..
Much gunrunning
So crime
Taykeen Braibs
Amaze…
So I went to the ny times article and read thru the comments. Very disturbing at first. Pages of virulent anti-gun comments. Then I noticed that by default you start out in the “ny times picks” tab. Once I went to “all comments” life was good once again. Tons of pro-gun comments. Once again those bastards show how sneaky they can be.
In other WTF News, Anderson Cooper is being sued for paternity by a bevy of beauties including several Hooters Girls, half a dozen Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, 2013 Playboy Centerfolds Miss April through July, plus Miss December, and oddly enough, more than a few Israeli supermodels. Wow. Who woulda thunk it?
Naw, he’s the catcher. Not the pitcher.
WOW! This came out of left field. The fact the Senator was doing business with notorious Shrimp Boy, I would of never figured that. But it does explain alot of why he only wants certain types of people to own firearms.
Besides learning that the Honorable Leland Yee was probably going to spend the rest of his days getting passed around in prison, reading this comment section has been the best part of my day!
Shrimp boy will cut his losses and whack Yee to keep him quiet.
Yep, I fully expect this clown to “accidentally” get tangled up in his bedsheet while sound asleep and suffocate.
I think it’s been mentioned before… but I hope they keep him alive… unless they catch DiFi trying to whack him to cover her corrupt ass. But now I’m just getting greedy.
To quote you, “If it’s possible to die of an overdose of schadenfreude, we may need to call 911 in the next few minutes.” I don’t know whether I’m supposed to giggle with glee, hyperventilate, have a fatal stroke caused by extreme joy, or all three. Karma is an unforgiving b*t*h, ain’t she?
Whew….that monotone was just horrible. I thought that was a pretty decent performance by RF considering that he didn’t control the microphone and it wasn’t equal. Sounds like he could hold his own if he was on an even plane with an opponent. The best thing I heard is where RF tried to keep the opponent from changing topic when they were losing their point…you got to bore in and highlight the fact that they lost that argument which discredits your opponent. Shapiro, Prager, and only a few others do that well. Don’t let the opponent escape! Check out the Shapiro 10 debate tips.
I’m just shocked that this didn’t get swept under the rug by Washington.
Downstairs: Mossberg 88 12 Ga with Kicklite stock w/ 2-3/4 00 Buck, bead sight

How do you like that Yildiz O/U 20 Ga? I have been thinking about one for trap/skeet.
Holder will probably admonish the FBI for running “a rogue operation targeting minority public servants.” On the other hand there’s that black/Asian tension thing goin’ on too…..
Laws are only for the little people.
Glock 19 with crimson trace laser grip and trijicon front night sight, loaded with federal hydra shock +p JHP. Keep a couple handheld flashlights next to it until I save enough pennies for the crimson trace rail light I’ve been eyeing for a while. I like shotguns, but do not own one, and I’m not convinced it’s the must have home defense weapon for everyone. Handguns carry more rounds, can fire more rapidly accurately, reload much faster, are more maneuverable, and are much quieter when being fired. those reasons and that I’ve put thousands of rounds through my G19, I trust it and know how to run it, are the main reason why I rely on it.
Thank you RF for try and speaking for a lot of us. I wouldn’t have the patience (and frankly the memory) to debate anybody, but the points he was trying to make we’re straight Pravda in my opinion.
I have to wonder now.
Do all gun owning San Franciscans have a cop peeking into their bedroom window??
How else can they enforce this lock it up law unless a cop is in there with you??
Or peeking in 24/7……….
Don’t get too excited, Obama will pardon him………………..
Bone stock Maverick 88 model Mossburg 500. 8 shot tube, 20 inch cylinder bore. I have literally duct taped a small tac light to the side for night work. It’s loaded with 6 rounds of 00 in 3′ magnum and 2 slugs of the same variety. I couldn’t tell you what brand they are nor does it matter to me; at in house ranges it’s not going to matter to anyone what brand they are, plated or raw lead, etc. . .
I’ve had the gun for better than 15 years, paid less than $300 for the whole kit, ammo included, and have perfect confidence in it’s efficiency.
Huh. I just got a memo at work today reminding military commanders that members that plead to a lesser charge are still impacted. It said that the law prohibits those whose actions for the intent of the law were still prohibited even if they plead to a lesser charge. Of course once convicted of stalking I’m sure an angry boyfriend would never get a gun illegally.
this is the ninth circuit we all know and love. sarc/
It’s a shame that:
The company in question won’t get that time or money spent in court back.
The company won’t get all those lost sales back while they spent the time fighting this.
The ATF has not been punished or restricted in any way for harassing and wasting the time of citizens.
The ATF can still just make up some bullcrap and probably still get this device classified as a silencer.
The ATF, a regulatory agency, has the power to make people felons and ruin their lives based on the decisions of individuals. Only legislative bodies should have the power to criminalize acts.
i don’t buy it! when is the last time a democrat was involved in illegal activities. major sarc/
Mindanao? Hot bed of local terrorist activity. Crazy if he got the rocket launchers and guns from Abu sayyef, MNLF, MILF, New People’s Army, or one of the other local terror groups.
/\/\ this.
What a perfect couple! He looks like Sloth from the Goonies and she is about as smart as Sloth.
You sir have gone too far! You impinge upon and degrade the good name of sloth! Fie I say!
Oh, another expensive 1911 that doesn’t walk the talk. Nap time.
The gun lobby would say that women should arm themselves for protection, …
As do millions of women, apparently, as women are an ever-growing segment of new gun owners. And the vast majority of them cite self-defense as their primary reason.
…but studies show that keeping guns out of the hands of their abusers is a more effective way of keeping women safe.
Where are these studies? Like most TTAGers, I read a lot of this crap. The closest I’ve seen is that a woman with a gun is seven times more likely to fend off a rapist than a woman using any other technique. I would think the odds would be similar for a woman fending off a non-sexual assault.
I’m curious what law she expects to pass to reduce this violence. I’m pretty sure assault and murder are already illegal in most of the US (I’m not sure about Chicago & DC).
Perhaps the paperwork a woman gets when she files a restraining order should come with a list of local firearms instructors. I’d support that law!
Banning any pistol over 50 ounces? Must be targeted against AR and AK pistols.
I was in a heavily attended public meeting when I first saw this story break. If I had cheered out loud – and I kind of wanted to – it would have appeared as though I was oddly excited about a move to privatize school bus routes.
Contracting out school bus routes is pretty exciting. Government shouldn’t be creating company structures to provide services, the private market can provide services like that much more efficiently, plus it shields the public debt from unfunded liabilities like pensions. I love this s***, I probably would have cheered out loud for it.
Where is the video the deer being hunted with helicopters and fully automatic AR’s? Is this not TTAG???
JD Armory, South Point, Ohio
Great prices on guns and ammo. They believe in the volume principle and in pleasing customers. We’ve done a lot of business and I often hang out there as if it were a social club. At times I even help out behind the counter and receive ammo discounts for my efforts. To say I love my LGS would be an understatement.
Confiscation driven agenda, pure and simple.
These people aren’t stupid, they’re possessed.
Oh, what a tangled web Yee weaves,
When at first, he practices, to deceive.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
This can’t get any better can it !
I’ve implored people to not give up on CA, just as we never threw in the towel in IL. The 9th circus rulings of late, as well as this news are all good news for left coast 2nd Amendment supporters. Keep fighting the good fight.
If hunters 300 years ago couldn’t find game to stalk and hunt, they didn’t eat. A little adversity for the modern hunter in that they can’t use drones to do their dirty work is fair.
Mosin Nagant with 18″ cruciform bayonet. Perfect weapon for home defense. Blunt force or penetrating trauma. Short range or long. Penetration not much of an issue in small town MT.
And you don’t need a weapons light. Touch off a mosin and the muzzle flash lights up 3 counties.
The more illegal he makes guns, the more his gun running business is worth.
WND wrote quite a bit about this several days ago, and about how the media cover this stuff up.
http://www.wnd.com/2014/03/roving-black-mobs-too-many-to-ignore/
I read this last night. It suggests a massive “P.C.” cover-up by the media, by the local government, and by the police to avoid charges of racism–even though these crowds of kids run amok are entirely made up of blacks.
“Even in Louisville, the police dare not say “we recommend that citizens facing this sort of threat exercise their natural, civil and Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. So I’ll say it: citizens facing this sort of threat should exercise their natural, civil and Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. Preferably whilst carrying a gun with a “high-capacity” magazine.”
I applaud Roberts’ clarity of thought and agree, however Cold day in hell before that happens.
“Teens.” Right.
Or as gun control activists would put it: “children”
This guy’s a real COMMENT MODERATED and I hope he spends a long time in prison with a big black COMMENT MODERATED so far up his COMMENT MODERATED that he can taste it.
Bought a new Remington 783in 300 Win Mag for $269 + tax at Whittaker’s in Kentucky.
Haven’t shot it yet. Bolt a little sloppy but big deal. I don’t compare it to the 700 or other “higher grade” rifles. I considered the Ruger All American, but the price won me over.
Mayor is asking the youths to behave? What a weak sister! How about check some of the video that is bound to recorded in a downtown area and prosocute some of these “kids” Some of the victims had to go the hospital, that is felonious assault. Hang a felony on the worse offenders and see if that does not take the fun out of mobbing citizens.
Just pulling a gun in self dense might have some of these miscreants change direction
This is the end result of liberal/progressives push for the acceptance of “alternative life styles”, which means not raised by a man and woman in a marriage and the feral animals ie, children; are not socialized and taught proper behavior.
So without this; the feral animals stay to their true nature.
This is true for any race of humans; we all start as feral animals that need to be socialized.
Liberal progressives; destroyers of civilization and the nurturing of savagery; brutality and a return to the law of the jungle.
Awww c’mon Ralph! What’s the big deal about the bayonet? LOL! Half the fun of owning a Mosin is having a rifle that stands nearly as tall as I am! LOL!
The bluing on my Mosin was already marred from previous service, so I didn’t see that as a big deal. What I did to fit the bayonet was used some valve grinding compound and an old 20 gauge mop and worked at it until the bayonet was a nice snug fit but didn’t require a lot of force to put it on. Then I coated the inside with some oil, and it’s good to go. Suppose I could touch up the bluing with some Dicropan one of these times, but again I just don’t see it as that big of a deal.
Otherwise great article! Thank you for sharing.
And guess who the ATF will target in their next “let’s make an example” raid.
Oh the humanity!
Well, one fact is irrisputable in this case. The dude is a dick. Couldn’t of happened to a nicer guy.
It’s almost like, oh I don’t know, if we were to find out that Weather Girl Gore liked to fly around in private jets and live in giant houses generating tons of carbon pollution all the while telling us peons that we were destroying the Earth and that we needed to give up our gasoline based cars and incandescent light bulbs. Or else.
You know, if that had actually happened, by way of example.
Just saying.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’ll say it again: Gun grabbers are all hypocrites (or at least 90% of them are 😉 ).
Oh, and HA HA! {points at jail-bound Yee}
(http://youtu.be/rX7wtNOkuHo)
I live 10 miles north of the bridge and bike in this area quite a bit and have never had a problem. I also carry Kimber Pepper blaster when I bike. If I ever go in this area to do photography I carry a M&P Shield but I do that pretty much all the time. This was a bit out of the ordinary and now I will be a lot more aware in this area and not frequent the bridge in the late evening hours or if I see a lot of people who don’t seem to be the normal group for the area. Or I’ll travel with a group.
My 740 slim went back to the factory for trigger repair, did a good job. Gun feels good, shoots good, and reliable. I would like to use the gun, and I would carry it, if Taurus would take some of that money they put in their mouth, and make some magazines so I can buy just one. Six rounds is not enough, and that’s why I still carry my shield, which is a very good gun.
Ain’t no ammo at Wal-Mart. Fool played hisself.
But seriously, if you read the link to the article his mom states that he has suffered from mental illness over the years and she was trying to get him help. Justice might have been better served getting this guy into a court ordered long term residential mental health program.
I don’t know if any of you guys have ever had the experience of talking with someone suffering from whatever diagnosable condition he might have, but the thing of it is, whatever idea they have at the time, to them, seems like the most natural thing in the world and in many cases they are confused as to why everyone else thinks it’s a bad idea.
They honestly can’t tell, especially if they are in a manic or psychotic state. That’s why we call them mentally ill. I expect he rather nonchalantly discussed his ideas with the police much the same as you or I would yap about going fishing next weekend.
Bad thing is, another relative or parent of a mentally ill person who is suffering from an “episode” is going to see the outcome here and might hesitate to call it in for fear of dooming them to prison like this because they figure it might be better to wait and see on the off chance that they might “snap out of it” or come to their senses. They likely won’t.
I’m not saying this dude needs to be running loose, but like I said above, based on the scant description, he would probably be better off in a mental health hospital than prison where he will be eaten alive. Unfortunately, over the past few decades the residential treatment centers have been virtually dismantled such that there might be only a couple hundred total beds for a whole state. So, they dump them in prison and warehouse them.
Plenty of popgun (and everything else) save for .22LR at the dozen WallyWorlds I know…
But other than that, I’m with you 100%. This guy is ill, has been for (likely) most of his life, and the system is currently set up to just ignore him. Until he does something from bad to horrific of course.
Agreed that throwing him in the slammer is not going to be conducive to other families calling in their suspected mentally ill family members.
Government “working” as usual.
Am I the only not seeing this story being published or aired by the national networks or MSM?
They definitely love to protect their own — a stronger word than Hypocrisy is needed.
CBS has him on video trying to get him to say something. It put a huge smile on my face.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-state-senator-leland-yee-arrested-in-federal-raid/
Some of the article comments are incendiary. There were a LOT of attackers. The gun and it’s use may or may not have deterred all of them from attacking. It could have been lost into their hands to inflict further damage on other people. I’m not voting against self-defense but common sense would state that one man with a handgun and maybe one/two backup magazines can’t be assured of successfully taking on 200 opponents.
“…and Lord if today is truly the day that You call me home, let me die in a pile of brass.”
This is not hypocrisy…it is conspiracy, conspiring to aid the crime world with money, conspiring to arm our enemies in Africa (Bengazi what?), and conspiring to undermine the US Constitution by championing the active suppression of lawful citizens RTKBA. This is not hypocrisy, it’s treason.

I’m currently without a “defense” shotgun for now, I only have my sporting ones currently, but the void will be filled soon with either a CZ 712, Benelli Nova/SuperNova or a modified 870 Wingmaster. I always use #4 buck.
Came across this on a gaming site (related to this):

Wow need a belt feed and some hand grenades just to ride around there
the mayor’s statement is the most pathetic response i’ve seen to a criminal act. he might as well just have said: “come on guys.. this isn’t cool. stop hurting other people…. pleeeeease?”
Signs were posted within hours for people to stop breaking the law.
Problem. Solved.
i think it’s great that she invested in a taurus. i know there are better manufactures out there, but if a taurus is what someone can afford then i’d encourage them to get one by all means.
i’m a student myself and when i decided to begin carrying the only firearm i could afford for concealed carry was a taurus pt709. would a shield or glock 26 have been better options? of course.. but i would have had to spend a couple more bills than i could afford. so i decided to buy the taurus, practiced extensively with it, and its been my edc pistol ever since.
budgets may vary when it comes to firearms, but that shouldn’t discourage anyone from acquiring a tool necessary for exercising their right to self-defense.
No corporation can or should deny a person lawful self defense. If they refuse security then the corporation is complicit if anyone is hurt by a criminal.
Next step- make carrying a gun within 1000 ft of any of the above places illegal.
BAM. Chicago becomes a no-carry zone again.
Fortunately for our Chicago gangbanging friends, streets, alleys and gangways are not on the list (unless there’s a 4×6 no Berettas sign) so the shooting and killing may proceed as planned.

So basically you can carry on the street but your only destination can be a private residence, a nongovernmental facility, or your own home.
Reading that just gave me a headache!!!

I keep asking my liberal friends (technically I am a liberal who owns guns) have dead baby pictures ever worked for the anti abortion protesters? Why would you think dead child pictures and insults work for for the anti gun lobby? When the wild west shootouts font happen, what then? They only let the boy cry wolf a few times. Then he get eaten. Or, maybe the sheep my Mother Goose is rusty.
Anyway, dont respond with ad hominem attacks, insults, or yelling. Politely calmly respond with facts. You know, like how Willy Wonka responded to Veruca Salt. You are not trying to convince Shannon Watts or Bloomerg’s minions. You going for the independent neutral observer. Dont be the first one to stomp your foot. You wont get the chocolate. First one to stomp the foot loses.
Can I make money on http://www.insaneincomecoaching.com/ It says that they have a three step formula to make money online. I have got good recommendations of the site.
Can we please stop calling it “gun control” and call it what it is “firearm confiscation”? It is not about “reasonable legislation” it is about “incremental slavery”. It is not about “saving the children” it is about “mass murder” children included. These intellectual misfits made their bed, with their anti-firearm agenda; let’s call a spade a spade then make them sleep in it. Damn I am tired of this political correct BS.

Aww. “Comments closed.” I was totally sure, this one time, that I could post a comment that would help him see the errs in his ways, and convert him and his inevitable supporting commentators that his junk statistics were wrong, and his argument was scarcely relevant to the subject he was supposedly writing about.
Damn. Maybe next time.
I am confused about State Parks and National Parks. The top twenty list says “parks”. Without any definition of which parks. My understanding is many state and national parks allow open and concealed carry. I guess it will be like going into other states. You better check with someone at the gate and find out what they do and do not allow.

You can scarcely go a day in Houston without reading of an armed robbery at a seemingly normal, everyday kind of place, like gas stations, grocery stores and particularly restaurants. These take place at all times and in all parts of town, not just middle of the night in the seedy parts.
It’s a bit strange to me that you think you’re insulated from random and vicious criminal violence just because you’re having cheeseburger.

Oh well, The commie-fornian damnocrats are probably already conspiring to contrive some loop-hole to have him exonerated on some BS technicality. Hell, they may even claim that he is an illegal alien and grant him immunity under their “sancutuary” BS. Sorry, I’m not very optimistic. He will never be convicted and if he miraculously should be, it will be a slight pat on the wrist and time served. And he will still draw his pay from the commie-fornian government.
