From the Temple University alumnae Review magazine -
An interview with a veteran police officer turned criminal justice professor.
Note, the online version of this article posted at the below url is an abridged version, that cut out alot of what the interviewee thought about firearms and the NRA. His comments about police training are more interesting than his comments about guns.

Temple Review: What about the problem of handguns?
Professor Jim Fyfe: I've always felt that nobody but an on-duty cop should have handguns. There are two issues that make us different from most Western democracies — guns and racism. We haven't solved either issue. Our gun laws are absurd. Pennsylvania last year turned down legislation that would have limited people to buying 12 guns a year. Who needs to buy more than 12 guns a year?
