Some of the illegal guns slipping into the city are coming from drug traffickers traveling from as far away as Georgia and Florida, the head of the region’s ATF bureau said yesterday as he urged clergy to help cops get the weapons off the streets.

Boston police also reported 107 guns have been seized so far this year. Last year a total 667 guns were taken off the streets, police said.

“At the end of the day, when a gun is used in a crime in Boston, we will do everything possible to find out how the gun ended up in the shooter’s hands,” Daniel Kumor, special agent in charge of Boston’s ATF division, told about 20 pastors at the 12th Baptist Church in Roxbury.

Religious leaders in Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan and the South End said they will roll out programs to help curb shootings, the Rev. Jeffrey Brown said. They’ll help families who have experienced trauma and visit homes of at-risk youths so their parents recognize the warning signs of troubled behavior, Brown added.

“Generally, the winter is quiet, and then you have an increase in shooting activity,” Brown said. “It was worrisome for all of us to see it so early.”

As of yesterday morning, there were 14 murders — three of which were stabbings — in 2014 compared with seven at the same time in 2013, police reported.

Kumor said some illegal guns in Massachusetts are coming from nearby in Maine and New Hampshire, or southern states such as Georgia, Virginia or Florida. Many of the guns are making their way to the Bay State through drug trafficking, he added.

The illegal guns in Boston are mostly coming from legal buyers standing in for someone who can’t purchase a weapon — including women buying guns for gangbangers, Kumor said.

“They are buying guns for boyfriends who are gang members. … That is one way we see crime guns moving from legal commerce to illegal commerce,” he added.

Some guns used in crimes in Boston are also being stolen in burglaries, or changing hands through private sales in secondary markets, Kumor said.

Kumor said there is no one solution to stemming the flow of illegal guns to Boston. He urged people to be vigilant by calling police tip lines, adding: “We can’t do this alone.”
