This is what I call gun control
"Two Dozen Men Arrested In "Operation Concord" In Boston. The Boston Herald (1/18, Zaremba, Sweet, 91K) reports that "some two dozen men - with more waiting in line to follow - netted by local, state and federal law enforcement agents in a citywide crackdown on guns and drugs early this morning have been ordered held without bail for 10 days at their joint initial appearance before US District Court Magistrate Judge Robert B. Collings." According to officials, 30 "federally indicted members of two Dorchester street gangs were busted" early Thursday morning "in a series of raids titled Operation Concord and more than a year in the planning that targeted a cocaine, heroin and marijuana-dealing ring." The "FBI-led raid" included "a few hundred" law-enforcement officers, including HSI agents. "As this operation shows, now it's the gang members who have something to fear," said Bruce M. Foucart, special agent in charge of Homeland Security investigations in Boston.
The Quincy (MA) Patriot Ledger (1/18, 37K) quotes Foucart as saying, "This effort shows our collective resolve in Boston and the Commonwealth to attack and dismantle these dangerous street gangs. For too long, gangs here and elsewhere have used violence and intimidation to hold communities hostage. As this operation shows, now it's the gang members who have something to fear.""
