SAN JOSE — Every year, Santa Clara County courts mandate that about 4,600 people surrender their firearms as the result of domestic-violence restraining orders being filed against them.
But currently, authorities admit they make at best a modest dent in enforcing those bans. It’s why county and city officials are looking to form a team whose sole job would be to identify who of those prohibited people still has their guns, and take them away.
