HCI To Become BCPGV
In its continued search for public acceptance, HCI appears ready
to take on its third name in its brief history. Founded in 1974
as the National Council to Control Handguns (NCCH), it later
changed its name to Handgun Control, Inc., and is now poised to
undergo yet another superficial transformation.
On June 14, 2001, HCI will officially become the Brady Campaign
to Prevent Gun Violence, or BCPGV, while its "educational" arm,
the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence, will become the Brady
Center to Prevent Gun Violence - also BCPGV.
But to avoid confusion, we'll just keep things simple, and
continue to refer to this organization by the more appropriate
and accurate name of the "gun-ban lobby."
