I would like working on that topic a lot. I am a writer/researcher, and the fields I write about are usually related to society, politics, history, philosophy, and other topics mainly based in the realm of social sciences. Seeing as how the issue of gun violence fits into that area, I believe I can write an adequate piece for you. I see that you mentioned an article that is to be read first, which would, of course, give a clear guideline to what you have in mind for the new article, but, generally, I am aware of a number of incidents and have watched and read a number of debates on the gun violence issue that I am sure might serve the work (keeping in mind the "no direct quotes" rule you stated). If you want, I can send you samples from my previous work for reassurance.
