    Today @chesaboudin, @GiffordsCourage & @KekerLLP filed a groundbreaking case to go after the manufacturers of the guns referred to as “ghost guns.” This is a huge deal. Here’s why. 1/

        What are ghost guns? They’re guns sold online in pre-packaged kits that require minimal at home assembly using common tools. No background checks. No safety testing. Just a fully functioning gun able to kill put together in less than an hour. 2/

        This means real guns sold online, no questions asked, delivered straight to your door & assembled while watching an instructional YouTube video. These guns can be placed right in the hands of kids. Or people prohibited from owning guns. Without anyone knowing. Yikes. 3/

        It’s not surprising then that ghost guns have been linked to mass shootings around the country. After all, these are fully operable weapons that are untraceable and unregulated. The Government can’t track them. 4/

        It’s hard to overstate the impact of ghost guns in SF. Last year, ghost guns were involved in almost half of all homicides (up from just 6% in 2019). The number of ghost guns police in SF recovered increased over 2000% in 4 years. Ghost guns went from rare to the norm. 5/

        The problem is also huge in California more broadly. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) had about 65% of its seized ghost guns come from California alone. 6/

        So what do we do? Well, for decades, despite harsh sentences for gun crimes, the gun crisis has worsened, prisons have swelled, & there continue to be more lives lost to gun violence. Black & Brown communities have suffered disproportionately. /7

        Meanwhile there are companies getting rich off of producing, shipping, and flooding the streets with these deadly, untraceable weapons. Think about that: profiting off of violence & lives lost. These corporations must be held accountable. 8/

        So that brings us back to today’s announcement & why it matters so much. @SFDAOffice @chesaboudin, with some of the fiercest advocates to end gun violence & top trial lawyers in the country at @GiffordsCourage & @KekerLLP are taking the ghost gun manufacturers head on. 9/

        Protecting public safety must mean stopping crimes before they happen. Holding those who commit gun violence accountable is critical—but it’s not enough. It won’t bring back the lives lost, the families torn apart. We must save lives by getting guns off our streets. 10/

        Today’s civil prosecution—brought under the DA’s civil enforcement power to go after corporations that break the law—is a big, bold step to do just that. We must protect our communities from these most dangerous of weapons and address gun violence at the root. 11/
