Ex-California State Senator Leland Yee, gun control champion, heading to prison for weapons trafficking

This Wednesday, Yee received a five-year prison sentence for accepting bribes and trafficking in arms. After initially denying culpability, Yee pleaded guilty to the charges last summer...

Yee told CBS two years before he was arrested: “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.”

That story is over two years old. Are there recent developments in this case or something?

The irony is rich.

The rich irony is timely, but since it is (two-year) "old news," in retrospect I probably should have put it in the "politics" forum rather than "news" forum.
