"WASHINGTON, Sep 5, 2001 (U.S. Newswire via COMTEX) -- Yesterday, the Violence Policy Center (VPC), a national non-profit educational organization working to stop gun death and injury in America, joined by Legal Community Against Violence and Physicians for Social Responsibility, submitted formal comments to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) opposing Attorney General John Ashcroft's proposed rule which would dramatically impair the Brady Law's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) by requiring virtually immediate destruction of the vast majority of records in the system."
This story is obviously a press release by VPC. It calls them a "non-profit educational organization" when in reality it's a privately funded anti-freedom lobby group.
It goes on to list VPC's website
"The VPC comments on Attorney General Ashcroft's proposal are available at www.ashcroftgunwatch.org, the leading source of ongoing information on Ashcroft, his pro-gun activities and gun-lobby ties, as well as his enforcement of current gun laws. The site can also be reached through the VPC's main web site at www.vpc.org.

I'm not surprized, but I am offended at the biased nature of this alledged "news article". Perhaps we should talk to U. S. Newswire.
