Article needs balance

This article reads like a one sided promo for Project Exile. Exile was very controversial, both within the gun culture and within liberal civil liberties groups. In fact the opposition to it saw an unlikely alliance between the Congressional Black Caucus and Gun Owners of America. The NRA and the Brady Handgun Campaign held a joint press conference to support it. Every major gun group except the NRA opposed it. Can somebody add some balance and critical information to this article?

It needs impartiality

I do not consider the "Fine Print" section to be suitably dispassionate. Two partisan takes on an issue does not make a nonpartisan analysis, which is what this site is supposed to be about. "The Fine Print" reads like a list of anti-Exile talking points. Legitimate or not, they need to be phrased as if they were being entered into a respectable reference book, not some cheap Internet discussion board.

"El Neil" prominent?

L. Neil Smith, by what stretch of the imagination, is "prominent"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.62.47 (talk) 01:32, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
