I think it was Slate that had the daily tally of gun crime based in news reports. That is probably a better indicator at this point. The Martin-Zimmerman case is a gun case, too.
The illustration below is the Slate page (click here).
Denver is claiming a software problem. If that is the case the trouble could be systemic. It is not unusual for police departments nationwide to purchase and use the same computer software. I am wondering if this effects Background Checks. It has to effect the information police have in doing their jobs.
According to the statistics as Slate the body count since Newtown is 5331. This sort of problem will be ongoing. The organizations such as Sandy Hook Promise and Americans for Responsible Solutions and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence are going to be needed to police this type of problem. As a matter of fact these organization can even develop and recommend APPS and programs for such issues.
There can easily be a business spin off to the organizations to promote excellence in the integrity of the reporting and background check system. This isn't going to end with legislation, this is a longed lived problem that will require dedicated people and monies to bring justice and consistency. There needs to be a separate organization aside from the work of the non-profits to coordinate efforts to diminish violence and find methods and practices that work. Yes, they can be profitable and employee people. It might be a good idea for these organizations to bring expertise together in a single company that can then be promoted.

...Hundreds of crimes (click here) in Denver were not included in FBI statistics last year largely because of officer error and software glitches, Denver Police Department officials acknowledged.
As police dig further into how those mistakes happened, high on their list of unanswered questions is why 25 percent of the homicides in 2012 are not reflected in the FBI's Uniform Crime Report, which experts say is an important tool in examining overall crime trends nationally.
