Ex-Calif. State Sen. Leland Yee, gun control champion, heading to prison for weapons trafficking

The Washington Post reports:

It was one thing for the public to learn that Chow, a known convict, may have become embroiled in more objectionable schemes. But it was quite another to hear that Yee, a respected public figure who had supposedly distanced himself from San Francisco’s corrupt past, was being accused through the same undercover FBI investigation.

This Wednesday, Yee received a five-year prison sentence for accepting bribes and trafficking in arms.

The great moments of gun control.
