    Leland Yee Letter - Bullet Button vs. Secretary of State

    A thought crossed my mind, and I was wondering if anyone else has considered this. So Leland Yee is running for Secretary of State, turns out voter rights is one of his pet projects. Now that he is termed out in the Senate, he can no longer rely on uber-liberal San Francisco, but he must put himself before all voters of the state, and he will be running against other Democrats.

    What if we were to flood his office with letters from Calgunners expressing our support for him as Secretary of State if he were to abandon his anti-gun policies, namely his attack on the bullet button? This gives him hope of a potential block of voters that he otherwise wouldn't have expected. And the Secretary of State office really has no direct impact on our gun rights.

    It may not convince him, but its perhaps worth a shot, and us regular citizens ought to be able to play politics just like the rest of them.

    He won't count on our votes and we shouldn't count on him. Outside o a shutdown in committee this is going to court after brown signs it.

      He'll find a way to leverage the SoS job in furtherance of his anti-gun and anti-free-speech agenda.

      I will not post any ideas here.

        You cannot reason or negotiate with an anti-gunner like Yee, or Feinstein, or any of the others. They want *your* guns, period. Bullet button or no bullet button, revolver, shotgun, it doesn't matter.

          What you propose is not realistic and he knows that too.
          My life may not be worth the mere firearms, but should it ever really come down to it, my life is worth the freedom. The only reason you and I have the freedom we have is because someone else put their life on the line, knowing that it's not just about the guns.
          No one is free until everyone is free. If you champion your own rights, but won't stand up for the rights of others, you're no better than those who wish to take our rights away.

              And if he said "Yes", you would believe him? A politician? Because politicians always keep their promises?

                The Secretary of State vote isn't for another year or two, so we would have a track record of votes on which to base our decision.

                  Don't lose sight of all gun owners could vote for the other democratic candidate. I am a republican that plans on voting for any democrat that opposes feinstein or Boxer or yee.

                  With the new laws in California a republican or in this case all cal gun members can do a lot by voting as a block for the other democratic candidate.

                  Just how I am proceeding.

                      He has no way of holding us to our side of the bargain so he has no incentive to make any bargain. He also knows many of us won't for a D, primary or otherwise, under any circumstance. Most importantly we know who he is and there are no deals to be made with him. His career as an elected official needs to end. And be real, Yee is nothing more than the current troll carrying anti legislation. There are others in the wings. If not Yee then Skinner or any number of "progressives" bent on making the state your master.

                          Telling him you will volunteer and donate money to whomever he runs against, forever, is the price of attacking your rights. Include a copy of a donation to a political foe...

                            Dont TRUST yee... He is so focus on getting our guns. good thing, he's going to termed out. Lets campaign against him to get any position in the government. Let us send him back to open a chinese restaurant that serve "SHARK'S FIN SOUP" let him cook it himself. And tell Greenpeace volunteer to sue him for supporting the mass killing of Sharks for his soup.
