Santa Clara DA approves "County Gun Team" to remove firearms from "troubling people"

The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office is forming a new "County Gun Team" focused on removing guns from dangerous offenders who don't have a legal right to own a firearm.

The specialized, five-person unit will consist of two crime analysts, two investigators and a dedicated gun violence prosecutor. It will focus on the task of removing guns from dangerous offenders who don't have a legal right to own a firearm.

“It used to be a part-time job of the particularly motivated,” Marisa McKeown, a supervising deputy district attorney overseeing the D.A.’s Crime Strategies Unit, said at a Monday news conference. “It needs to be a full-time job of a team of people.”

McKeown was named founding supervisor of the District Attorney's new Crime Strategies Unit back in August of 2018.

Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez added that she hoped the new initiative would remind the public to report “troubling people” who shouldn’t have access to firearms.

This will end up being the model for the rest of the country. The real objective is more likely to put the infrastructure in place for wholesale confiscation. Laws don't matter if you can't enforce them, right?

The slaves’ tax money is being used to enslave them more. Just like happened in “free and modern” Nazi germany. Santa Clara county is not part of the USA anymore. We should gift it to communist China and be done with it.

Ah but-— NOT illegal aliens.... right,SantaClara? Sanctuary city and county? Right? hmmmmmmmm?

That is exposed once, ONCE and they are DONE! Take the badges away....because...the illegals don’t need no stinkin’ badges.

Their “targets” will not be the illegals-— but white veteran males.

Not mentioned is how many and how well trained and how heavily armored will be the team that actually has to go out and confiscate them for these people who will remain safely ensconced in their marble halled bureaucratic offices.

I assume they don’t mean that this five person team of paper pushers will actually be going door to door and taking the guns. The outcome of that would be entirely predictable. They’d be constantly replacing personnel.

Making sure convicted, violent felons do not have guns is far more efficient than trying to deny guns to convicted, violent felons by restricting gun sales to the general population.

This is a bit like “Project Exile”, which actually cut murder rates significantly.

If done correctly, it could be positive.

Unfortunately, given this is Santa Clara in California, it will probably be done very badly.

“Troubling people” is not a legal term.

This thing has been deliberately designed for abuse.

How many serious crimes in Santa Clara are committed by illegals vs those committed by legal gun owners? Yep, rhetorical question.

So, since it is unconstitutional to force a person who is prohibited from owning a firearm to register them, how will thye know who has them?

Most of the liberal creepozoid Environazifascists that infest Santa Clara and the surrounding area are ‘troubled.’

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

I don't think that many of those : "convicted,violent, felons" have guns in jail?

Constitutionally, I believe that that is the only place that gun ownership can be regulated ... legally.

Ex felons are exactly that .. X felons.

All rights should once again be restored to them and that includes the right of self protection.
(Yes, that means gun ownership)

“”the new initiative would remind the public to report “troubling people” who shouldn’t have access to firearms.””

Who’s to determine who shouldn’t have access to firearms? A neighbor you don’t get along with? How about a relative you don’t like? These idiots are more dangerous than anything we would find in our own neighborhoods. I’m beginning to look on all of government the same - dangerous to our health!

A person who could make a statement like that should be fired immediately! Someone somewhere is getting paid to sort out the dangerous people from society and they want the public to do their job for them?
