The rise in homicides across our state should be alarming to all of us. And while violence has many causes, a big factor is the ready availability of guns. https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Homicides-suddenly-spiked-last-year-in-California-16304461.php … 1/

Then why is it your policy not to bring gun charges if illegal firearms are discovered during a traffic stop?https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/da-boudin-to-stop-charging-for-contraband-at-traffic-stops-gang-enhancements/ …

This is specific to "Pretextual traffic stops." It's basically an attempt to limit racial profiling by police. Seems like a good goal, no?

Allowing people to carry illegal firearms is a good goal? I agree! :D

Not prosecuting folk is not the same as letting them keep their illegal guns. You can confiscate guns without pressing charges.

Indeed! And people who carry illegal firearms NEVER seek *new* illegal firearms, if you take one away from them. We intercept one illegal firearm and BANG: they apply for medical school!

America has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world. And our crime problem has not been solved by it. Not sure why doing more of the same is the solution. I'd love to see illegal gun dealers become a top priority of law enforcement.

Exactly. Jailing murderers has not prevented murder... so let’s try something different. Free the murderers!

You're presuming that all people who carry guns are murderers. Pretty sure that's not the case.

Quite the contrary: I’m assuming every person that carries an illegal firearm is innocent and poses no risk to the public safety. While simultaneously, and some might say hypocritically, posting ten-tweet threads about how I’m “working to prevent” gun violence.
