Bostonians Prepare As Police Plan House-To-House 'Warrantless' Search For Guns

Of course, the program is completely "voluntary." But a pretty, sickeningly sweet PR campaign is being built to promote the "Safe Homes" initiative. They plan to knock on doors of private houses, and ask if they can search for illegal guns without a warrant.

"To further put residents at ease, officers will wear civilian clothes and try to look like office workers on casual Friday rather than FBI agents, French said. 'They won't go in there in a three-piece suit.' "

"Some clergy members have apparently volunteered to accompany police on the searches because they are suspicious of their intent."

And records of those homeowners and residents who do NOT permit police to search their homes will not be kept, right? I haven't seen that mentioned.

Finally, will someone PLEASE tell me what an "illegal gun" is?

Boston Anti-Gun Blogger Puts Herself In The Non-Profit 'Safety' Business

Sebastian over at Snowflakes In Hell notes that one of the few anti-gun bloggers, Nancy Robinson, is setting up a not-for-profit coalition in Boston to "track sources of illegal guns and learn how they end up in the hands of teenagers and criminals." She is best known for whining to the New York Times that "progressive" politicians and grassroots organizers weren't paying attention to gun control.

There is some bad grammar in the news story, published in the Boston Globe. Frankly, I'm not clear whether she is the executive director, or whether her teenage son has been given the post, but I digress . . . Sebastian has some solid insight as to why Ms. Robinson's efforts are misguided.
Personally, I would suggest that contributors to the group, as well as pro self defense activists in the area, keep a close eye on "Citizens For Safety's" finances. Here in Ohio, it was discovered that an executive director of a similar "coalition" is really a one-woman show who grabs a lot of headlines.

. . . And pockets a lot of dough from giant anti-gun foundations. For the children.
