[edit] "Anti-gun rights"
Would anyone mind if we changed the second half of the template to read "Gun control groups"? It seems like a POV simplification to label these groups "anti-rights". The U.S. Supreme Court has determined that there are limits to all the freedoms accorded by the Bill of Rights, including the hallowed rights to freedom of speech and worship, and the right to bear arms is no different. I think "gun control" is a more neutral term.--Rockero420 17:20, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I mind. It should be Pro-gun control groups for NPOV and for balance. (See discussion for Brady Campaign, Talk:Brady Campaign. Yaf 12:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New section
I've set up a new section in the table for the two organizations (previously classed as "Pro-gun control") that openly support both the right to use weapons (opposing gun bans) and some measure of control. The title of the section is not yet settled, but it did not feel appropriate to class them in one camp or the other. Andrew Levine 17:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Have revised the section title a little. It is worth noting that both these organizations are usually identified solely with gun control, at least in most open literature descriptions, at least by the NRA and other organizations identified with gun rights. Their organization names, however, were clearly chosen to provide a modicum of neutrality to their perceived positions. Yaf 18:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks, I think your title works better. Andrew Levine
