Boston Herald Offers One Side in Gun Turn-In Story

We wouldn’t expect the very liberal Boston Herald to do it any other way, but it is surprising that even this quote would go unchecked in a recent story that mentioned a gun turn-in program in New Bedford:
“David Lima, executive director of the Inter-Church Council, tells The Standard-Times of New Bedford that every gun turned in means less of a chance it will fall into the wrong hands and be used for criminal activity.”
This story, which seems to have been reported in The Standard-Times was picked up as a local news piece on the BostonHerald.com Web site. What is disturbing about this particular statement is that no one, including the writer or editor, felt compelled to question the opinion. Is it really possible that every gun out there has a chance to be used for criminal activity? This logic would suggest that every car has the chance to be used somehow by a drunk driver. And we think most car owners would find that crazy too.
