60 Minutes and the VPC

60 Minutes is trying to pull its crap again, and VPC is ecstatic. Below is the E-mail that was forwarded to me from a friend:

Subject: 50 Calibers on 60 Minutes--THIS SUNDAY!

Dear Violence Policy Center Action Network Member:

We have just learned that CBS News 60 Minutes is planning to run a new,
follow-up piece on the threat posed by 50 caliber armor-piercing sniper rifles
this Sunday, March 20.

See http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/07/08/60minutes/main13502.shtml.

Although the Violence Policy Center was featured prominently in the first 60
Minutes story which ran in January, no VPC staff were interviewed on camera for
this piece. We are certain, however, that the story will add to the growing
controversy over these deadly weapons and the need for stricter regulation of
their availability.

To learn more, please visit www.vpc.org.

Thank you, as always, for your efforts to stop gun death and injury.

I embedded the links to open in new pages, but pother than that, it is exactly how I received it.

I will be recording Sunday and posting as soon as I am able the link to it for verification when you call and vilify them...

It has taking a bit longer than expected.
