"All of us agree that a suicidal teen should not have a gun. All of us agree that a young child or a domestic violence abuser should not have a loaded Glock. A mass shooter should be disarmed before the first shot. Please listen to "DD": Don't wait until it's too late. Call 911."
"Every gun we take out of dangerous hands is a life we may have saved. These laws work when the community works with us. If you know someone in crisis or someone making threats and they have a gun, don't hesitate. Your call could be the reason a tragedy never happens."
"higher than anywhere else in California."
The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office and the San Jose Police Department produced a multilingual video PSA urging residents to call 911 when a gun is in dangerous hands. The PSA will play at community events and local drive-in and theater locations for four weeks. Dispatcher "DD" Dunn encourages immediate reporting so a specialized county team can obtain a Gun Violence Restraining Order to safely and temporarily seize weapons until danger passes. Officials cite past removals from suicidal people, children, the mentally ill, the threatening, and the abusive, and note leading statewide use of these orders.
