The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will consider funding a new team specifically aimed at getting guns out of violent hands. Board president Cindy Chavez will introduce a proposal to earmark nearly $430,000 to support a “gun team” tasked with removing guns from repeated domestic abusers and people with temporary restraining orders against them. “It is a lethal combination where there’s a case involving domestic violence and a court order to remove a gun from a person with a restraining order against them, particularly if it’s not enforced,” Chavez said during a Monday news conference.
So where is that nearly-half-a-mil initial investment of funds coming from?
County general fund money would pay for a new criminal investigator and attorney for the county gun team. Several other positions would be funded by grants from the Bay Area Urban Areas Security Initiative. Sounds like a good gun law, right? People known to be violent will have their guns confiscated thus protecting the victims of their abuse. The current methodology in the Golden State is that if you have a restraining order issued against you, you have to turn in your own gun.
