The Name May Change,
But The Goals Remain The Same

"...[HCI] desperately seeks the public acceptance it has been sorely lacking
since its inception..." |

The gun-ban lobby formerly known as HCI made its name change
official last
night at its "National Tribute to Jim and Sarah Brady," and will now call
itself the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, or BCPGV. Its
"educational" arm, the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence, will become the
Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence - also BCPGV.
Last month we reported
that HCI was poised to undergo its third name change in its brief history,
as it desperately seeks the public acceptance it has been sorely lacking
since its inception. The group was founded in 1974 as the National Council
to Control Handguns (NCCH), then changed its name to Handgun Control,
Inc., and while the organization has now removed "control" from its title,
promoting government control over law-abiding gun owners will remain a
centerpiece of its agenda.
BCPGV/HCI President Michael Barnes stated the
name change was meant to "better express our mission," but "better
disguise our mission" would have been more truthful. Noting the fact that
"handgun" has also been removed from the gun ban lobby's name, Barnes,
Sarah Brady, and their anti-gun cronies seem to have finally admitted that
their true "mission" has always included promoting the imposition of
Draconian controls over all firearms and all law-abiding firearm owners.
