Jeeze, the blinkered arrogance. He really doesn't pull his head out of the sand (or elsewhere) to even examine what's already in place - and furthermore assumes *He* being so special, can invent a "better" wheel...

"This incremental approach is what the people of the UK bought into which ultimately resulted in their complete loss of handguns."

Correction; it resulted in their complete loss of legal handguns. Illegal handguns of course remain in circulation. Their sales are not registered. One upshot of which is that there is now yet one more opportunity niche in the UK black market.

DirtC; they know full well that there are tons of restrictions already. They're hoping enough people are ignorant enough to believe their misinformation. They are probably right. The claims that an "unregulated" credit banking system resulted in the housing "bailout" is a perfect example. They create a problem, blame it on capitalism, then use that false assertion to take over more of the economy (purely as an emergency measure of course). They're playing the same game with our 2A rights, and for decades it's been working more than it's been failing.

"Where the current wackiness about gun confiscation gets in the way of a sensible national identification policy is this: If paranoia takes hold when there is not a clue to support the view that confiscation is on anybody's agenda, consider what the reaction will be to a national system, which will touch off all manner of slippery slope imaginings about confiscation and bans."- Fred Lebrun

Never forget, REGISTRATION IS THE MASTER PLAN

"I'm convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We're going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. Of course, it's true that politicians will then go home and say, 'This is a great law. The problem is solved.' And it's also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time. So then we'll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we'd be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal."

HCI changed in name only to the Brady Campaign in 2001.

In 2008 Brady brief supported the DC gun ban.
