Gun regulation is becoming a hot topic in the nomination of Judge
Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. The VPC has been at the forefront of
educating the media and policymakers regarding the public safety
implications of Judge Alito's dissent in the 1996 case of U.S. v Rybar in which
he argued that the 1986 federal law banning the possession and transfer
of machine guns was an unconstitutional violation of the Commerce
Clause.
On Friday, November 11th, the VPC was featured prominently in a
National Public Radio segment exploring the implications of the Rybar
decision. To listen to the story, click on this link:

Also, according to a new poll done for the Alliance for Justice, 46
percent of Americans (52 percent of women) think that Judge Alito's
decision in the Rybar case is a "very strong reason to vote against Judge
Alito."
Please consider a donation today to help the VPC get the message out
about Alito's views on machine guns. You can donate to the VPC on-line

Thank you, as always, for your work with the Violence Policy Center to
stop gun death and injury.
Alito sounds like our kind of guy.
