David Kopel (Volokh post) Rips FactCheck.org RE: Obambi

David Kopel posting at The Volokh Conspiracy is also taking FactCheck.org to task for just regurgitating the Obama campaign's statements regarding his stance on gun control - and rips them a new one in a long post:
FactCheck’s September 22, 2008, report on the National Rifle Association’s advertising critical claims that the NRA “distorts Obama's position on gun control beyond recognition.” FactCheck itself, though, has overstated its claims, and made several errors.
The NRA’s advertising points to various positions which Obama has taken over the years. Not one of these positions (with a single very dubious exception, discussed below) has been subsequently repudiated by Obama.
