Indeed. A LONG time ago, when the "Brady bunch" was still called "Handgun Control, Inc.", and I was young and ignorant, I knew about the difference in crime statistics betweem handguns and long guns, and actually thought that HCI just "might" have a legitimate point. And then came the "assault weapons ban" with the full support of HCI.
At that point the "scales fell from my eyes", and I realized that the ONLY goal of the "gun control movement" was total civilian disarmament. I then joined the NRA, and have been a member since.
Nothing has changed since then. Their goal is still the same, as are their tactics.
