Anti-firearm California state senator arrested by FBI for arms trafficking.
A prominent California lawmaker was arrested on Wednesday in an FBI sweep that netted 26 people, a high-profile case that could affect statewide elections and brings to three the number of Democratic state senators who face criminal charges this year. Senator Leland Yee, a former San Francisco supervisor and one-time mayoral candidate, was criminally charged in federal court in San Francisco with two felony counts of conspiring to import and traffic in firearms, and six corruption counts.
In 2006, Yee was named to the Gun Violence Prevention Honor Roll by the Brady Campaign for his efforts that included co-authoring a first-in-the-nation bill to require new semiautomatic handguns be equipped with ballistics identification technology known as micro-stamping.

State Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) is an associate of the Wo Hop To.
The Wo Hop To is a Triad group based in Wanchai, Hong Kong. The name translates to "Harmoniously United Association" or "Harmonious Union Plan" and is thought to have been founded in 1908 in Sai Ying Pun as a secret political organization in opposition to the Qing Dynasty. They are one of the "Four Major Gangs" of Hong Kong, the others being Wo Shing Wo, 14K and Sun Yee On.
During the early 1990s, Wo Hop To expanded into the United States, beginning in San Francisco, California. The US Wo Hop To was led by Peter Chong (also known as "Uncle Chong") and Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow a former Hop Sing Boys gang member. The Wo Hop To had plans to control all the Asian gangs in San Francisco and, from there, to branch out into drug distribution nationwide. Wo Hop To chased the Wah Ching gang out of the Bay Area and the Wah Ching headed to Southern California. The Wah Ching was the only surviving Chinatown gang during the 1980s. The Hop Sing Boys and Joe Boys were dismantled by police after the "Golden Dragon massacre". The Wo Hop To had taken over Chinatown after killing the Wah Ching leader Danny Wong.

The firearms were apparently destined for sale to AQ pukes in Mindanao.
This just keeps getting better.
The war on guns, like the war on (some) drugs; is mainly about eliminating the competition. The gubmint wants a monopoly on both.

P.S. Mike, sorry, but that promised contribution will have to wait until sometime after the Ides of April.
Speaking of monopoly...
A democrat that's a corrupt crook? Really?

I used to live in his district.
He's a scumbag of the first degree.
He was selling weapons to islamic terrorists in the Philippines. These are people who kidnap and cut the heads off of unarmed women and children for the thrill of it.
The sort of people who caused Beslan? he was selling guns to them!
The sort of people who blow children in Iraq to pieces? He was selling guns to them!
The sort of people who fly planes into buildings? He was selling guns to them!
The sort of people who go crazy over cartoons of their so-called prophet? He sold guns to them!
We NEED The Second Amendment to protect ourselves and our families from Senator Yee and his "customers"!
We underestimated him. He appears to know something about illegal guns after all.
Well now I'm going to have to watch the nightly news so I can be predictably disappointed in their lack of coverage.
Like we were not aware of the complete lack of integrity and utter corruption of gun grabbers?
May all those who would piss on the Consitution be caught in the back-splatter!

Yee should have been more careful. He may have been on Obama's short list to replace Holder at DOJ.
