Public Interest Law vs Think Tank or Advocacy organization

Would just like to get input on exactly how to classify this particular organization. Is this a public interest law organization or a think tank or advocacy organization? It seems to advocate or push for certain laws to be passed, much like a think tank would. Thoughts? Krakaet (talk) 17:55, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV/Advert issues

Lots of NPOV issues here. The whole thing feels like a press release. Faceless Enemy (talk) 22:36, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically what? I gave it a quick view and didn't see anything wrong. SimplyACat (talk) 17:32, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"civil rights organization"

The article currently reads "By 1999, the civil rights organization began to develop a national strategy". I believe EarlyNews added this, and has re-added multiple times it without any summary. I don't believe that the LCPGV is a civil rights organization. In fact, it's actually seeking restrictions on a right. Moreover, the Center doesn't call itself a civil rights organization (so far as I can tell), and it hasn't been called that in secondary sources either. EarlyNews, if you would like to have the "civil rights" language remain in the article, the responsibility for showing a reliable source for that description is on you. I'm planning to remove it again in a bit, but I'll wait to see whether you can find a source. I've looked and been unable to find any. Faceless Enemy (talk) 17:49, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Although I have reinserted, I am not the original inserter of the text. I don't know why you feel gun violence is a right, but you are correct that the text should be cited and the original author did not do so. I will leave out until one is found.
