Just read their editorial on gun buybacks. For a second I thought I was reading the globe. They claim that if the gun buyback is done right, then it will be a success for ending violence. The last two paragraphs were the worst.

In fact when the guns were packed into an armored vehicle and given a police escort out of town — to where they would be melted down — community members gathered to cheer. That is indeed something.
As Robert Sege, a Boston Medical Center pediatrician, put it, “The main thing gun buybacks do is send a message that we don’t need to have guns in our home.”
That is a message worth sending.
