In the wake of recent gun violence, Santa Clara County leaders voted Tuesday to improve the county's gun buyback and relinquishment program. The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors is asking the sheriff's office to hold two regularly scheduled gun buybacks per year. County leaders said that previous gun buybacks have been successful, with several hundred weapons surrendered at each event.

In December, 49ers executives Jed York and Al Guido announced their support of Cindy Chavez for San Jose mayor, and have followed up with campaign cash.

The supervisors’ action came one day after San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo called on Smith to resign immediately in the face of recent scandals and lawsuits.
