One incident creates a silly overreaction, here’s the incident:
On Friday morning, a 14-year-old boy was playing with a loaded gun inside his family’s three-decker on Morton Street when the gun went off, according to police, and the bullet struck the boy’s 9-year-old brother in the chest, killing him.

Here’s the reaction:
Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh said the city will partner with the police department on a gun buyback program, in an effort to reduce the high number of guns circulating in the city.
“The message for me is clear,” said Walsh. “We need help from the community to find out where these guns are. Let us know, alert police, so we can work to get these guns off the streets.”
How ridiculous, guns don’t “circulate,” they’re inanimate objects, most of them sit in drawers or closets, some of them don’t even work. There are far more bike accidents than gun accidents, yet you don’t hear of a bike buyback, do you?
