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.
In 2013, he stood with law enforcement officials and then-Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to propose a bill that would regulate assault weapons.

Just consider it a resume enhancement in the California Democratic Party. He is now well qualified for a statewide office, perhaps atty general.

I'm guessing his anti-gun stance was to support his own business interests.

Wonder if he's wants to be the next US Attorney General?
A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

Why would Yee get involved with selling rocket launchers to street gangs for a measly $70K (less than the cost of his car, I suspect) unless it was part of a bigger plan?

He found a way to make money off the absurdity of taking guns away from citizens so only bad guys and the elite can have them.

Re: Anti-gun CA senator indicted in illegal gun trafficking
So a couple of minions block a major bridge in a city and all heck breaks loose on the news for weeks on end. But this guy gets caught red handed doing far far worse and I have not seen one story here in the mainstream news. There is no such thing as bias.

Just more proof (as if we needed it ) that gun control is not about guns.
