'A Shot In The Dark'





A gun buyback program announced by Boston officials last week is aimed at reducing street violence, but not everyone -- including residents of the city's roughest neighborhoods -- believes it will do much, writes Boston Globe columnist Joan Vennochi. The program will give $200 Target gift cards to people who turn over guns to police. "I wanted to believe," Vennochi writes. "But as I scrawled notes during Tuesday's press conference at First Parish Church in Dorchester, a man standing nearby offered up this review: 'Good concept. It won't work.' He declined to give his name, but said he did youth outreach work in the community. He doubted that many young people he knew would walk into a police station to turn in weapons."
