Was just doing some nosing around on the internet and returned this page intended for journalists writing on gun crime. Read it, but my ignorance is a factor in judging it, just thought you guys might like to read it.

Gun violence, guns, and gun control are very volatile issues and supercharged with emotion. We have an obligation to report accurately on these subjects.
About the writer:
Richard C. Rhodes is a former Marine, ATF (then A&TTD) agent, CIA agent, and a law graduate. As a civilian, he worked for years with the Dallas police and others on crime prevention programs.
During his tenure as a U.S. Treasury agent, he was for several years a specialist on the enforcement of the Federal firearms laws (while stationed in Philadelphia). For over 20 years he has been writing on crime-related subjects.
