RE: question from a novice
writer500,
You are highly unlikely to receive the information that you requested in your first post from the members of this forum. I would encourage you to pursue your " research" elsewhere, like a library or other reference resource, especially if you are wanting to pursue verifiable references for the " authentic" gun violence scenarios you may choose to dream up. No thanks on the offer of being listed in your " credits" section.
Furthermore, I am not interested in either attempting to sway a " set" mind or in providing you any potential fodder for your story by participating in this pro-gun vs. anti-gun dialogue you are floating here.
Good luck (sic) on your violence novel.
The End.
EKM
