As cops prepare to launch a controversial program to seize guns from homes with parental permission instead of warrants, concerned youth workers claim scared kids are stockpiling weapons due to fear of being without protection on the city’s toughest streets.
“They would rather be caught with a gun by the police than get caught without one by their enemies,” said the Rev. Shaun O. Harrison, who has launched a new campaign to encourage youngsters to hand guns over to him, no questions asked.Harrison is spearheading Operation Project Go (Gang Out) from his Dorchester headquarters, which aims to take weapons out of neighborhoods and help steer youngsters away from gangs.
