    Default Santa Clara Co. officials consider task team for court-ordered gun confiscation

    https://www.ktvu.com/news/santa-clar...n-confiscation

    SAN JOSE, Calif. (KTVU) - Santa Clara County officials say gun crimes used by suspects in domestic violence cases, or who’ve been slapped with restraining orders, have steadily increased the past 10 years.

    The district attorney's office is partnering with the board of supervisors to create a new team of law enforcement members to combat these kinds of crimes.

    On Jun. 23, 2019, in San Jose, a distraught family member shot and killed four members of his own family, before taking his own life. Despite a threat of violence days earlier, the suspect had a gun which turned a domestic dispute into a massacre.

    "I don't see how someone could get so angry to be able to take a life? That's a precious life that God gives," neighbor Alexandria Cortez said at the time of the crime.

    Monday, Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors President Cindy Chavez along with representatives from the DA’s office and the San Jose Police Department, announced the possible formation of a team to intervene before shots are fired.

    “Our policies in Santa Clara County, and counties across the state, can’t work if there’s no one enforcing them,” said Chavez.

    Too often officials say, domestic disputes turn deadly because police and deputies don’t have a legally coordinated way or staffing to make sure suspects of domestic violence or those slapped with restraining orders don’t have weapons.

    Making a non issue into an issue. The residents there are mostly illegals living on the public dole. Just tell them if they still want their money from the taxpayers turn in your guns.
