San Diego County leaders move forward with plan aiming to reduce gun violence
The county Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to adopt a plan aiming to reduce gun violence. This plan includes setting up an advisory group, hosting community town halls, and hiring a coordinator for gun-violence reduction activities. The plan is based on a report created by Health Assessment and Research for Communities, which was requested by the board in April 2022. The report provides statistics and methods for reducing gun violence, including safe-gun storage. Board supervisors Joel Anderson and Jim Desmond voted against a second set of recommendations, criticizing the focus on gun ownership over addressing the root causes of violence and mental health issues.
