As Boston police prepare to go into some of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods, knock on doors of private houses, and ask if they can search for illegal guns without a warrant, officials are trying to pitch the idea of the plan as friendly cooperation to residents who still see it as a threatening intrusion.
A friendly looking logo - a drawing of a house surrounded by the sun - adorns the brochure police have drafted to explain and promote the initiative, "Safe Homes." Photos of officers playing baseball with children and chatting with teenagers dot the pamphlet. Twice, police have taken calls from listeners on a black radio station in Roxbury.

It sounds like the beginning of Nazi Germany. I hope the residents tell the cops to go pound sand.
Just softening up the neighborhoods for the home invaders....
“if they can search for illegal guns without a warrant”
NO.
Start with the bad neighborhoods first. Then expand into other neighborhoods proclaiming that safe, gun free zone utopia has been achieved.
Same plan Hitler implemented.
This won’t do any good anyway. All they will do is gather more information on the general public. Even if they found stolen or illegal weapons, what happens? They may arrest the people, put them in prison and they will become even more dangerous. The largest Mexican gangs are being run from inside our prison systems. Until they eleminate these people, the problem will get worse..........count on it.
I wonder how long it will be before this “voluntary” program becomes mandatory?
Break out the swastikas.
Cold. Dead. Hands.
Hi there, do you mind if we root through your things?
Not if you don’t mind me busting a cap in yo . . .
“It sounds like the beginning of Nazi Germany.”
It sounds like it because it is. Democrats and nazis march to the beat of the same drum: Totalitarianism and the crushing of personal freedom.
Damn, that would be funny if it was satire.
What an idiotic misuse and abuse of police force.
If they believe a home owner would allow such a search, why don’t they just skip the search and ask the homeowner to locate the “illegal” guns and turn them in?

Get yourself a warrent until then your trespassing, and if you didn’t notice the sign “trespassers will be shot with a registered gun”
ah....the jack booted thugs have arrived.....
Why don’t we have a look at your bank statement and your last five years of tax returns...
Shame on them for not coming around to this wonderful program.

"Arbeit macht Frei" sounded good too.
Maybe they’ll check to see that there are two parents in each home.....
Here it comes!
