For those not familiar with the convicted CA Senator Lee. He was a big time anti-gun Senator in California. Was behind many of the bills that ultimately infringed on Californians civil rights. That is just one of the many reasons after 37 years I left the state one day after retirement. Kamala Harris teamed up with Yee many times to push the anti-gun legislation. Did she know what was to become of Senator Yee? Was she complicit?
Senator Lee was arrested and convicted on gun trafficking and corruption charges.

California Senate leader, attorney general back gun-control bill
n the wake of the recent mass shootings in Colorado and Wisconsin, the leader of the California Senate and the state attorney general said Monday they support a gun control bill aimed at making it harder to reload assault rifles.
Senate President Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) and Atty. Gen. Kamala D. Harris said the measure addresses weapons like those used in the movie theater shooting in Colorado last month that left 12 dead. Another gunman killed seven people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin over the weekend.
Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) has introduced a bill that would prohibit semiautomatic rifles or kits with features that allow easy release and replacement of large ammunition clips, either through the push of a button with a finger or use of a tool.
